As parents ourselves, we understand that many emotions surface when faced with the suffering of our children. Guilt, self-judgment, fear, worry and anxiety are common within an already challenging situation.
As therapists, the success of our collaboration with parents and teens begins with us assuring you that our job is not to judge you, your family or your choices. We believe that everyone is doing the best they can with what they know and have. We also believe that everyone is able to do better. We hope that sharing our treatment philosophy, formed by our experiences working with teens for decades, will help alleviate some of the understandable emotions attached by both parents and teens.
