Teen Counseling Services
Your teenager may be asking " Why are you so mad? Its not that big of a deal. or " You just don't understand."Parents may be asking " What is going on and why don't I know?
There are experienced based therapies that bridge the gap between these questions. My approach is to form non judgemental relationships with the teen, while fostering a positive relationships with the family.
