I work with children, adolescents, young adults and their families during periods of turmoil and crisis. Your son or daughter has become more distant; grades are less predictable; friends may have changed and there is more conflict at home. Intuitively, you know something is going on, but aren't able to reach them. This is often the time where a therapist can bridge the gap.
I am direct with both parent and child. Each has to be willing to look at their part and know this will take some time. It didn't start yesterday and it won't be finished tomorrow. Above all, family members will be treated with the respect and consideration they deserve.
I see mental health for young people as an ongoing process where a support system is developed and utilized throughout childhood and adolescence. Working as a team with family, school, pediatrician and possibly psychiatrist gives the best chance to catch kids before they fall through the cracks
