Therapists for Teens in The Colony, TX

Do you want to be involved in your child's treatment? Parents are often told to just put thier child in individual therapy, as if it is an independent procedure that can cure them or make them ideal. But then how do you handle things at home outside these occassional sessions? Parents should be equipped to deal with the behavioral issues, discipline, and mental health concerns of thier children.
