Adolescent / Teen Focused Therapy
READ MORE
Adolescents today face many issues and challenges that can lead to feeling overwhelmed and confused. These years can be a time of great vulnerability for a teen which may lead to poor choices and problematic behavior. The adolescent years are riddled with transitional issues – physical and emotional changes along with the desire to establish independence from their parents, which can result in feelings of confusion and discouragement. Teens often don’t have the needed coping skills to deal with this significant distress which may lead to your teen engaging in risky behaviors or becoming depressed and/or anxious.
Sometimes, adolescents may just need someone outside of their family to discuss the stressors they are dealing with and help them relieve the pressure they feel. For others, who are dealing with more severe issues such as depression, anxiety, violent behaviors, sexual acting out, school/home behavioral problems, or substance abuse, will need more significant intervention.

Parenting Support / Triple P Program
READ MORE
This form of therapy is not only short-term, but it can also include all loved ones, you, and your spouse, you and your child, or just you. Each treatment plan is specific to your situation. Parenting can be satisfying and fulfilling. But it can also be difficult and time-consuming. Parents must tend to an infant or child’s daily needs. They are also responsible for helping each of their children develop life skills. These skills include daily living skills, social skills, and appropriate behaviors. It may be hard to cope as a parent, and parents may find it difficult to give their children equal attention, creating feelings of guilt, and greater levels of stress within. Parents with more than one child must account for the personalities of each, as well. Parenting may also become more complex if the child has a physical or intellectual disability, extreme medical treatment or needs, and adjustment to changes within the family unit. Parenting may become more difficult when a child shows signs of behavior issues. New parents, overwhelmed parents, and parents facing mental health conditions may benefit from this type of support. Our therapists can help parents through tricky situations or behavioral concerns. Clinicians utilize Triple P – Positive Parenting to provide guidance and parental support as it is one of the most effective evidence-based parenting programs in the world, backed up by more than 35 years of ongoing research.
