Please wait ...

A complete outfit change after a comment from a sibling... foregoing sleep for more time on Instagram... a hostile eye-roll following a parent’s casual question about plans for the evening...

Even in the absence of mental health issues, the adolescent years are characterized by a roller coaster of big emotions, heavy focus on social connection, and push-pull relationships with adults.

There is a very specific and powerful skill set that's necessary for gaining the trust of moody, reluctant, or even outright oppositional teens... and for differentiating and treating the huge range of adolescent needs.

From normal teenage angst to more serious mental health concerns like depression, eating disorders, and self-harm, highly acclaimed expert and best-selling author, Dr. Lisa Damour, will teach you the essential and transformative interventions you need to effectively counsel teenagers.

Whether you are new to working with teens or have been seeing adolescents for some time now, Dr. Damour will use her years of experience and wealth of knowledge to guide you into new depths of understanding so you can confidently walk away with:

  • Techniques for anxiety, depression, eating disorders, self-harm, and high-risk behaviors
  • Skills to support teens who don’t want help
