Teens and adolescents go through many changes during this stage of life. Having your support as their parent is important, but sometimes they may need an impartial and understanding person to talk to. A teen or adolescent counselor can help your child gain insight into their emotions, learn to express themselves healthily, and understand the root causes of their behavior.

Other benefits of counseling may include:​

• Learning how to handle emotions in a productive way.
• Resolving family and peer conflict.
• Increasing self-esteem, self-awareness, and overall confidence.
• Identify goals, make positive plans, and develop problem-solving skills.
• Acquire healthier coping strategies for stress management.
• Feel more secure in their identity.

Parental Alienation is defined as a group of behaviors that impact a child’s mental and emotional well-being and can damage the relationship between a child and either parent. These behaviors often emerge during high-conflict marriages, separations, or divorces. Whether verbal or non-verbal, they can lead a child to be emotionally manipulated into believing that a loving parent is the source of all their problems—or even an enemy to be feared, disrespected, or avoided.

At The Child and Family Institute, we recognize that these harmful behaviors can severely affect a child’s development. That’s why early identification and expert treatment are critical to prevent long-term emotional and psychological damage. Parental alienation is a serious concern as it hinders both parents from remaining positively involved in their child's life.
