Family Therapy in Dallas
The
risk-taking, defiance, and turmoil typical of adolescence can leave you feeling
worried, exhausted, confused, and frustrated…and that’s just to name a few!
While the adolescent’s behaviors may be normal for their life stage and personal
development, it can take a toll on the parents, siblings, and rest of the
family who interact with them and care about them.
One
key area parents-of-teens complain about is the “struggle” … struggle to relate,
struggle to communicate, struggle to negotiate, and the seemingly never-ending power struggle. This is a common dynamic between a parent and their teen,
which can lead to a tense relationship that neither the parent nor the teen
hope for in the home. Improving your communication and relationship during this
life stage is not only possible, but equally desired by both teen and parent. I want to help you and your teen find ways to
eliminate the struggle and enhance your relationship to make this a smoother life
transition.
I
admire the unique qualities an adolescent brings into the family and want to
help you and your loved ones experience the best from your adolescent. I am eager to support you and your teen in
making these years a great experience as you complete your job of parenting a
child and retire into parenting an adult!
Almost there! Let’s make it better!
