Adolescents

Adolescence is a time of change for the individual and for everyone in the family. Physical changes, new social expectations, and heightened school pressures are just a few sources of stress.  Teenagers can feel uncomfortable turning to adults because of a desire for independence or a belief that they should be handling things on their own.  Parents and other adults may find that tried and true ways of relating or supporting are not longer effective.  Everyone may feel confusion and uncertainty about how to talk to each other and what might be helpful.  Dr. Macht-Greenberg works to create a comfortable and accepting environment that fosters trust and a good working relationship.  This often helps adolescents have effective individual conversations and to consider how to speak with their parents.
