Allyson Pease
Psychotherapist - LPC
For Parents:“How was your day?” “Fine.” And they then, slump off to their room. “I got a call from school about…” That’s my typical client. One-word answers, problems in school, and EVERYTHING is YOUR fault – sound familiar?For Minors:Your parents don’t understand ANYTHING. Teachers are stupid. You’re constantly in trouble for something that isn’t your fault. And then there are relationships; with friends or intimate (LGBTQ/gender fluid included) but your parents really don’t get it. Maybe there is some anxiety, anger, cutting, depression, and you’re not talking. You don’t think anyone will get it. These are the clients that work with me.For Parents of Adult Children & Adult Children:“They are so FRUSTRATING! They refuse to listen to any of my advice or suggestions.” Maybe you’re thinking, “I really just want to improve (or repair) our relationship – followed silently by ‘before it’s too late.’ I’m worried about them.” Or, “I wonder if I’ve done enough or am I doing too much? Sometimes it feels like I’m doing both.” Maybe it’s the difficult but necessary topic, “How do I bring up the subject of sudden or long-term illness and the type of care I want/can provide?” These are the clients that work with me.
