Fifteen year-olds Should be Banished to an Imaginary Island!

Say what?  We hope that this tongue-in-cheek headline got your attention.  On a recent TV show, one of the characters said that “15-year-olds should be put on an island for a year”.  It was a joke, of course, but it illustrates the frustration that parents have when raising young teenagers.  Remember, you were there once!

What if you have a 15-year-old (or so) child that simply refuses regular psychotherapy, but you know it would make a world of difference?  Perhaps they have been diagnosed with a mood disorder, ADD, or anxiety.  With the proliferation of social networking and other mass media it is harder to be a teenager these days.

Recognize, react, and proceed with bull-dogged determination.  This is YOUR kid’s future we are talking about!  Start with a call to noted child psychotherapist Dr. Steven Sussman. Dr. Sussman has developed a successful innovative approach for teens who do not want or benefit from traditional counseling.  He will arrange a meeting with you and your child at his Mountainside NJ office or his Staten Island NY office.  Make that call today at (908) 217-8106.
