The treatment involves the parents and the teen
Before the teen or their family becomes an active client, we engage in a three part consultation process to understand and assess the needs of the teen and their family.
This initial session is to get to know the teen and nothing clinical in nature.
In this session I will learn more about the teen's therapy goals and assess their motivation levels.
Session with teen's parents to learn more about their perspective and potential therapy goals.
Collaboratively we will decide on the treatment approach which could involve individual therapy for the teen and parent consultation sessions to equip parents with the communication tools so they can support their teen and improve their relationship.
