When Therapy or Parenting Support Is Necessary
One of the most common reasons people schedule therapy for their teenagers is if the child is exhibiting behaviors such as vandalism, alcohol use, or drug abuse. It's also vital to seek help if your kid is defiant, and you feel in over your head when it comes to parenting. While teenagers are known for wanting independence and being rebellious, sometimes, it's a sign of a greater issue than typical development.
You should also schedule a visit to Dina’s office in San Rafael if your teen is having school issues, such as getting in trouble frequently, skipping school, bullying/being bullied, or experiencing a drop in their grades.
Approaches to parenting can cause disagreements between partners. Dina recommends family therapy along with parenting support whenever a couple disagrees on parenting and it is causing a rift in their relationship.
Therapy for adolescents or teens might be necessary if the child recently experienced a life change, such as a move, and isn't adjusting well. In family therapy, you'll learn ways to help your teen, and Dina can also work with your kid to help them cope.
You may want to opt for therapy for adolescents or teens if your child is experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, or ADHD.
