Adolescents present unique challenges, but also unique opportunities. After almost 30 years experience working with this population, there aren't many situations I haven't encountered. There is always reason for hope and what your therapist expects influences the outcomes. As a behavioral optimist, I approach clients I work with believing that no one wants to be miserable. We all want to reach our potential, as children, adolescents, parents, families, members of a community. Every living, breathing person, whatever their age, race, gender, sexual orientation, or place in life, is capable of change. That is a firm belief of mine. Most of my work is with adolescents and their families. I have been trained over the years in dealing with multi-problem families and out-of-control teenagers. My experience in inpatient and residential settings has prepared me well for the outpatient work I do now. I have been fortunate to work with many unique children and adolescents, including many with Asperger's Syndrome. I have done Social Skills groups with that population and have found that to be a fairly effective intervention.
