Family Therapy: How to Approach Treating Adolescents
~by Joseph Suchanic, LMFT
How do Therapists help teens who never really asked for it?
Therapists must rely on establishing candid and genuine relationships between therapists and teens. This training offers techniques for clinicians who want to engage and connect with their adolescent clients. The goal is to bring about conversations that are straightforward and therapeutically operational so that teens and their families can create a safe haven and allow them to look inside and learn about their potential and all they can be. These techniques will include among others:
- The Use of the Therapist
- Teens don’t follow 1st session protocols
- Change of approach leads to results change
- Family Sessions with challenging teen
