Acting out behavior in most teens reflects an incompatibility between their skills and the demands being placed upon them by their environment.
Whining | Pouting | Sulking | Crying
Screaming | Swearing | Hitting | Lying
Drinking | Drugging | Self-Harm | Violence
Challenging kids will always look bad when challenged beyond their capacity to respond effectively. We need to see their behavior as a cry for help, and answer that call...
The ability to pay attention, organize, plan and prioritize, as well as start tasks and stay focused to completion.
The capacity to focus on the important sounds in a noisy setting, and understand and recall the order of sounds and words.
Being able to manage emotions and impulses, and respond in a manner that is socially tolerable and sufficiently flexible.
Knowing how to recognize non-verbal gestures of body language, follow directions, refrain from interrupting, and demonstrate empathy and rapport.
The capacity to identify the issue and understand everyone's interests, as well list, evaluate, and select from the possible solutions options.
Rather than reacting to their behavior, we can help your teen discover effective ways to respond to challenging situations.
Empowering adolescents through teaching them the social and emotional coping skills necessary to thrive in this world.
Guiding teens through creative discussions to uncover and address any current challenges that they are struggling with.
Encouraging teens to create a vision of the experience of life that they would like to have, and supporting them in that goal.
Before learning goal-setting, time management and social skills, teens must first develop the coping skills necessary to respond to criticism, disappointment, and change.
As an experienced teen therapist, I will assess the challenges your teen and family may be experiencing and offer my most effective recommendations for solving the problem.
The best time to consult with me is when changes in your teen’s behavior are impacting their ability to connect with others and cope with life.
I specialize in working with teens & young adults from all cultural backgrounds, whose path of development may be a little more complex than others
