August 14, 2025 from 6:00 PM - 8:15 PM, virtual via Zoom

Join guest presenter Dr. Caroline Sawyer, Psy.D. for a workshop focused on the unique needs and considerations for working with teens.

This workshop is an introduction to working with adolescents in therapy. Working with teens can be challenging for many reasons. Adolescence is a time of significant developmental changes and teenagers can present specific risks in therapy. Teens often want increased privacy when they engage in therapy that can cause challenges when engaging with parents and family members. Ethical challenges that may present when working with teens and ways to navigate potentially difficult topics such as sexuality, religion, and family conflict will be discussed in this workshop. Ideas for building rapport and conducting therapy with adolescents will also be covered as well as evidence-based interventions.
