Teens & Families

Working with a minor also means working with the whole family. I have the most success in helping teens when the parent(s) are actively involved in the their child's therapy. With teens, I take the time to build rapport and a trusting relationship. I help them identify their strengths and support them along their natural path of development. With parents, I provide psycho-education and teach parenting skills to help re-enforce positive changes in the home.
