About JoaniTestimonials
As an expert in teen- parent relationships, I have developed a unique, and effective approach to help parents understand the specific physical, cognitive and emotional/social issues that arise in adolescence. The many changes that occur during adolescence can often be a challenge for parents. Understanding these developmental changes are the key to successfully navigating this stage and maintaining a close, loving relationship between a teen and their parents. Parent Coaching sessions are held in the parent's home.

In my 30 years as a coach and clinician, I have found the home to be a place of comfort, while addressing some often difficult and stressful concerns. Issues addressed in coaching sessions may include but are not limited to:
  • Identifying your teen's "lightening rod, imaginary audience and personal fables"
  • Learning how to teen -proof your home
  • Learning how to teen-proof your relationship
  • Learning how to set appropriate limits so your teen will want to follow them
  • Helping your teen through a family crisis, i.e. divorce, loss, moves
  • Developing effective tools for identifying and dealing with your teen's experimentation with alcohol, drugs and sex
  • Understanding high expectations VS unrealistic expectations, what are the consequences for your teen's emotional well-being
Phone coaching also available.
