Hello Parents of Teens!
..........
I’m Cheryl -- a teen therapist, parent coach and mom.
I help parents stop bickering and foster a deeper connection with their teenagers, creating the foundation of a healthy relationship that lasts long beyond these teen years.
Your child has grown by leaps and bounds since they were a toddler — both physically and emotionally. They have entirely new interests, new friends, new skills, new obstacles and new goals.
So why would you expect the parenting tools and techniques you’ve been using all of these years to keep working? Your parenting needs to grow and evolve along with your child.
Parenting a teenager requires a new approach.

Hi, I'm Cheryl Somers
Teen Therapist, Parent Coach, Mom
....................
For nearly 3 decades now --first as a Middle School teacher, then a teen therapist -- I have always been fascinated by teenagers.
Yes, they are difficult sometimes. And, yes, they can be emotional and immature and impulsive. But they are also so interesting, and insightful, and thoughtful, and generous.
Over the course of these years working with teens I learned something important: Teenagers aren’t on a mission to be difficult! They aren’t trying to make life hard for you. They aren’t being stubborn, or lazy, or volatile on purpose. Instead, they are growing, and learning and developing, and falling down and getting back up and learning some more.
I want to share what I've learned from 30 years of working with teens and raising 2 daughters who are now young adults.
I’m ready and eager to help you enjoy a happier, healthier relationship with your teenager!
