Parent Consult Sessions
Parent Consult Sessions are 60 mins.
These sessions are designed to understand and support your parenting role. Adolescent therapy is synonymous and connected to parental therapy. When an adolescent presents for therapy Parents/Caregivers are asking for support and guidance to understand their adolescent and continue the parenting role. Understanding your own parenting style, its influences and the developing teenage brain help to bring focus and understanding to your role as a parent. Understanding your teenagers expanding social world with all its challenges and rewards can support you to see the adolescent years as a time of opportunity where growth and development can happen for parent and join this sentence together with one underneath adolescent. Focusing on practical tools as well as interventions that can help to focus on everyone’s needs is key to parental consultation.
