This blog is designed to shed some additonal light on the unique challenges of working with adolescents; in particular teenagers. Teens are an awkward breed stuck between legos and spreadsheets; not a great place to be when their is comfort in childhood and desire but unreadiness to be a grownup. My hope is that a collaborative blog will generate interesting discussion on better helping teens through therapy or through effective parenting.

Teenagers who participate in counseling often do so because they are dragged through the door. When working with teens I find it important to know how they want the process of therapy to look and feel like. Many have previously had poor therapy experiences and therefore it is useful to ensure that you do not duplicate the same tired act that may lead to a one and done session.
