TEENAGERS

Therapy & Coaching

Pre-teen and teen years can be a struggle. Not knowing where you fit in either as a teen or a parent of a teen is a really common feeling at this age.

 

Believe it or not, the brain sees the most development outside the first three years of life from ages 11-24!

This means that the rapid rate of growth, habit-forming, and decision-making skills are all being primed for adulthood right here and now. Combined with changing hormones, friends and life in general, pre-teen and teen years can be a struggle. Not knowing where you fit in either as a teen or a parent is a really common feeling at this age. It’s also the age in which many signs of mental un-wellness start to surface.

At Grow Therapy, we welcome you and your child ages 11 and up to get connected in a space that’s warm, inviting, comfortable and compassionate. Whether you’re struggling with parenting a pre-teen/teen or have a child that is struggling either outwardly or inwardly, it can be incredibly helpful to know there’s someone to talk to.

Parent + Family Life Coaching

Parent + Family Life Coaching provides practical and educational tools that help parents and children improve family life through stronger relationships, better communication and healthier behavior patterns. It is action-oriented and focuses on solving the immediate challenges that families face. A coach can support a family or an individual family member to learn new theories, techniques and skills that help move families forward toward their goals. Parent + Family Life Coaching helps families assess strengths and weaknesses, understand family behaviors, set actionable and attainable goals, and implement new family practices and communication patterns that help to meet those goals.

Who should consider Parent + Family Life Coaching?

Parent + Family Life Coaching is for any family group or family member who:

  • Would like a professional sounding board to sort through family life struggles

  • Deals frequently with power struggles around homework, screen time, bedtime, clothes or other challenges

  • Sees behavior in their children they would like to improve

  • Feels that family life is out of balance and is looking for more simplicity or a different family lifestyle

  • Is facing the complexities of blended families or the painful transitions that come with divorcing parents

  • Feels stress and contention with tweens, teenagers or young adults

  • Wants to be a better parent, but is uncertain of how to improve

What to Expect?

Initial Conversation: We can schedule a free 20-minute conversation to talk about whether family life coaching is right for you.

Coaching Sessions: Coaching sessions are typically 50 minutes. Many families find that 4 - 6 coaching sessions are exactly what they need to make positive change in their family life. Some families prefer fewer sessions and others find that ongoing support over time works well.

Coaches: Pam Caine is the Parent + Family Life Coach at Grow.
