When unprepared for adolescence, both school and social settings are likely to be very intimidating and overwhelming arenas. Social skills are scrutinized amongst peers and bullying can be debilitating for the self esteem of our precious youth. Together in group, we will learn & role-play many social skills. We will build healthy self-images, boost confidence, & address real-life scenarios for decreasing anxiety and avoiding eventual depression.

Teenage years can be extremely challenging for both child & parent. While it is a time of testing limits and seeking autonomy, a teen must still feel the love & containment provided by Mom/Dad. We will discuss parent/teen conflicts, and process the feelings associated with this period of seperation and individuation. Occasionally, parents will be asked for optional participation in seperate parenting support sessions.
