Adolescent Therapy

Hormones! Can I just stop there?

I think that is enough to understand where these kiddos are.

Your son has recently started talking back.

Your daughter isn’t listening anymore and only wants to be on her phone.

Their grades are slipping in school, and you’re concerned about the new friends they’re hanging out with.

Sound familiar?

I understand being frustrated, fed up, at your wit’s end, and like you have tried everything; nothing is working.

You were able to get through the younger years…

But now it is like a whole new child is looking at you.

With electronics and social media, there are so many new areas to navigate. It is hard to know what is safe and how to monitor and when to give freedom and when to not.

Kids seem less motivated now that they have electronics at their fingertips and constantly ask to use their electronics.

“What are healthy boundaries?”

“How do I keep them safe?”

We can work on practical, solution-focused areas that can build a healthy, happy, and secure teenager.

Adults are logic-focused.

But kids are more right-brained.

They will tune out if we come at them with logic right away. We need to connect with our children where they are.

We’re heavily influenced by Dan Siegel and his Whole Brain Child Work, as well as Dr. Karen Purvis and the Connected Child.

We will help you reconnect with your child, so not only is that child listening, but they are also talking so you can listen. And not just listen, but really hear them.
