Our Approach

The focal point of your child's world is your family (even if your teen tells you it's his or her friends). Although teenagers begin to move away from this as they mature, it is still parents, siblings and home life that are the center of their universe.

In order to make long-lasting changes in the behaviors, thoughts and feelings of your child the whole family system must change and adjust. It is therefore necessary for parents to be involved in their children's treatment.

Common Areas of Focus

  • Negotiating peer pressure

  • Mood changes due to physiological maturation

  • Learning to socialize with friends or siblings

  • School avoidance or anxiety

  • Bullying (both victimization and perpetration)

  • Attention-seeking behaviors

  • Self-esteem & identity

  • Setting healthy boundaries

  • Learning to communicate effectively

  • Enforcing appropriate consequences

  • Establishing a family hierarchy

  • Identifying age-appropriate vs. negative behaviors
