Adolescence is a time of profound change. It's like being pulled away from childhood and pushed into a new chapter of life - like being a stranger to those around you and to yourself. This process isn't easy, and raising a teenager really tests a parent's emotional resiliency.

There is a transformative dynamic to group therapy that for many is a uniquely effective way to tackle problems and learn how to cope with them.
