Sandra Dupont, MA, MS, MFT, specializes in teen therapy.

My specialty is supporting teens and their parents during the challenges of adolescence. Whether you’re a parent whose relationship with your teenisn’t what it used to be or a teenager whose parents don’t seem to get you, a compassionate therapist can bridge the gap.

Learn how to strengthen your relationship with your teen while increasing cooperation, harmony, and happiness within the family. This is an interactive 6-week parenting workshop integrates information from the fields of child development, adolescent psychology, and relational psychology. Recent research in the field of psychology demonstrates that happy individuals are healthier and more successful in many areas of life. 

Topics will include:

* Understanding Yourself and Your Teenager

* Improving Your Response to Your Teen

* How to Communicate Respect and Understanding

* Encouraging Cooperation and Problem-Solving

* Using Consequences to Build Responsibility

By the end of this intensive six-week course, participants will be able to help their teenager become more responsible, communicative and independent. To master the principles involved, participants will be receiving and utilizing the book Systematic Training for Effective Parenting of Teenagers, and completing the activities outlined in each chapter.
