Is your teen showing signs of depression or suicide?

HVD Studios LLC • April 14, 2021

Attachment Based Family Therapy (ABFT) helps families address these serious feelings and thoughts though a carefully planned 5 step process that transitionally addresses as the course of Therapy progresses.  This is supported as highly effective treatment for adolescents showing signs of suicide and (or)  depression.     By shifting  the focus away from the symptoms and toward the improvement of the relationship between parent and child, the next step will be to transition to alliance building which is learning about the patient's interests (and strengths). 

This makes it easier for the teen to articulate and understand the tensions and breakdowns that occurred with the relationship of his or her parents.    In separate Therapy sessions, Paul DelGrosso will build trust and collaboration with the parents who attend the session by exploring attachment issues that could be interfering with their parenting skills.
