Being a parent is the hardest job you will ever have!
As much as we wish they did, kids do not come with an instruction manual. Parents often find themselves second guessing their choices and discipline styles. They feel frustrated when their kids don’t listen to them and don’t follow the rules. The house can become a war zone with constant fighting and power struggles.
At Lakefront, we emphasize family relationships as an important factor in psychological health. Regardless of the origin of any “individual” or “family” issue, involving families in solutions often benefits everyone. Often, all family members’ direct participation significantly improves the effectiveness of teen therapy.
What is teen and family therapy like?
We provide a safe space for you, your teens, and your family to improve the strengths, wisdom, and support of the whole family. You will also be able to identify and discuss family issues that are obstructing an enjoyable and nurturing home environment. At Lakefront, you will learn skills to communicate your needs effectively, be heard and understood, and ultimately get the connection your family deserves.
