Strengthening Parent-Teen Bonds and Enhancing Communication for Fulfilling Family Relationships

Want to get through to your teen without any of the hard work? The truth is, they don't really want to talk to you (trust me, I have 3 teens of my own)!

Something as simple as an intervention from a 3rd party can open up the communication and help pinpoint what's happening with them. Is it school, friends, self-esteem issues? Once you know, you can solve for it. Right now, you have no idea...and they're not talking to you about it!

This is what I do for parents like you every day. As a licensed previous school psychologist, I'm trained to listen. I enjoy the hard work. And I can help you be the hero.

Book a call and let's talk about what this looks like - for you and your teen.

The sooner they open up, the better…..for them, for you and for your family!

Reasons why families reach out to me…..

Behavioral or Emotional Difficulties: If a child is exhibiting challenging behaviors, emotional outbursts, or difficulties in managing their emotions, strategies to support the child in developing healthier emotional regulation and behavior management skills.

Mental Health Concerns: Parents may notice signs of mental health struggles in their child, such as anxiety or depression. Seeking emotional services can lead to proper intervention and strategies to support the child's mental well-being.

Academic or Social Challenges: If a child is struggling academically or socially, parents may seek emotional services to identify underlying issues that could be impacting their child's performance or relationships. Emotional support can address self-esteem issues, social skills deficits, learning difficulties, or bullying, helping the child develop coping mechanisms and improve their overall functioning.

Life Transitions or Family Changes: Significant life events such as divorce, loss of a loved one, relocation, or changes in the family dynamics can greatly affect a child's emotional well-being. Emotional services can provide a safe space for the child to process their feelings, navigate the changes, and develop resilience during challenging times.

Enhancing Emotional Intelligence: Some parents recognize the importance of emotional intelligence in their child's overall development. They may seek emotional services to help their child understand and manage emotions effectively, develop empathy, improve communication skills, and cultivate healthy relationships.

Prevention and Early Intervention: Parents may proactively seek emotional services to prevent potential emotional or behavioral difficulties. They understand the value of early intervention in identifying and addressing any emerging issues before they become more significant problems.

  • It's important to note that seeking emotional services for a child doesn't necessarily mean there is something "wrong" with them. It can simply be a proactive step to support their emotional well-being and provide them with the tools to navigate life's challenges successfully.
