Trusting your therapist is key to healing therapy. Building a strong, trusting, and supportive relationship with clients, creates the foundation for a successful intervention.

Are you a parent of a teen who is going through an emotional whirlwind? Does your teen have emotional outbursts seemingly out of nowhere? Does your teen seem distant, sad and disconnected? Is your teen having trouble expressing him/herself or connecting with peers? Being a parent can be the most meaningful and fulfilling experience we will ever have in our lives, and also sometimes the most challenging, exhausting, and emotionally overwhelming. The truth is that no matter how strongly we love our teens, and how powerfully we want the best for them, life's challenges can still get in the way of our teens thriving at their best.
