If you’re looking for a teen therapist in Woodland Hills, or anywhere else, there are many factors to consider. Any therapist who is worth considering should take the time to speak with you, explain their process and answer your questions. Here are some of the most important things to think about when you talk to a potential candidate.
Are you worried about your struggling marriage and its impact on your family, but your spouse isn’t open to seeing a marriage therapist? Your relationship with your spouse sets the example for your children’s future relationships. This is your chance to demonstrate healthy behavior by seeking support for your marriage.
What do you do when your kid gets into their first toxic teenage relationship? For you as a parent this can feel like the world you know is crumbling to pieces. You may fear that your child is drifting away down a self destructive path, or that you can no longer protect them. These feelings are completely natural, but we urge you to play the long game instead.
We all make mistakes, right? As adults, we know that when we mess up, the more we can embrace mistakes and setbacks, the wiser we become. Your perfectionist teen most likely doesn’t have the life experience to put these kinds of life events into context.
If you’re panicking about your child’s college application process, it might help to take a step backwards and examine your own expectations. If your kid is struggling to apply to colleges, it might be a sign that they’re just not ready.
Teenagers, or adolescents, tend to distance themselves from their parents as they enter adolescence. The drive for teenage independence is a normal part of their development.
There’s nothing easy about divorce! It’s hard on everyone, not just the two people who are divorcing. And of course, it can be hardest on kids.
When you have a teenager, dealing with moodiness is pretty normal. This has been true since the beginning of time. But how do you know if it’s teenage depression?
We have a lot of experience working with teens and families, so we know homework is a big struggle for many.
Sometimes when kids get into school fights, once it’s over they get over it quickly. Other times there may be bigger issues.
