I imagine that on most days we all work hard to do the best for our children. No matter how hard some of their challenging behaviors may be; you have love, patience, understanding, and most of all you continue to try to be creative and consistent. But in the end, something just is not working. You continue to ask your friends and family for support and advice, yet you are growing more stressed and tired by the minute. I can help your adolescent come to understand, and work through their struggles and challenges.Adolescence can be a time in life that can be complicated, demanding, and sometimes confusing for both you and your teen.
Your teen might not know how to ask for help, and they might not know where their struggles are coming from right now. In getting support for them, they learn new ways to help themselves become happier and calmer, and you’ll begin to see the “old” kid you used to know. Your relationship will begin to feel closer and stronger.
Wherever and however these issues are surfacing, I would love to help in uncovering the reasons why your child is struggling. There is truth that "It takes a village to raise a child," Let me be a part of your village and help work towards healthier and happier adolescents. I am looking forward to connecting and providing a free 20 minute phone consultantion
