Adolescent Behavior Therapy
"He won't take a shower, it's like he doesn't care if no one wants to be around him..."
"She doesn't talk to me anymore. Everything that comes out of her mouth is a lie."
"I'm sure they're using drugs."
"..he refuses to go to school."
"Why won't he just do his homework?"
"I just want the best for them."

While we’re all navigating these complicated times together, children and adolescents are bearing a particularly high degree of psychological impact. And unlike their adult counterparts, children and adolescents have not yet had a lifetime of learning to build up a repertoire of healthy coping skills. Children who do recognize their personal values and how to meet their own needs healthily are far less likely to experience psychological suffering. This in turn creates less interpersonal stress within the family and enables individual family members to thrive independently and as a family unit.
