Healthy relationships play a key role in children’s development of emotion and self-regulation, academic, and social success. In particular, for children and adolescents, the role of the parent or caregiver relationship is particularly important, as research shows that these relationships have a strong influence on a youth’s developmental trajectory and well being.

Common difficulties may include:

• Constant arguing or push back
• Poor communication
• Not following rules
• Emotional distance in the relationship

At Union Square Practice, our child and adolescent providers have extensive experience working with youth experiencing relationship-based struggles with their parents/caregivers, understanding that these relationships are pivotal in a child’s treatment. Our clinicians take a holistic and collaborative approach to come up with a tailored treatment plan that works for your child and family.
