Parenting a teenager can be both deeply rewarding and incredibly challenging. As teens seek independence, test boundaries, and navigate big emotions, many parents are left wondering how to stay connected and supportive. ❤️

Open to all parents of teens, including those being served already at the Institute for Girls’ Development and Flourish Therapy and Wellness Center.

Therapy doesn’t have to be a long-term commitment. Sometimes support is needed for a season, a transition, or a moment of stress. 🧡

Whether you’re an adult navigating a tough chapter, a child or teen needing extra support, or a college student home during a break, we’re here for you. Even short-term support can make a meaningful difference.

Feel free to contact our caring Client Services team at 626-585-8075 ext. 108 or Intake@IFGD.care

Grounded in principles of attachment, developmental psychology, and interpersonal neurobiology, this group provides a safe and supportive space for parents to share, learn, and grow together. 💛 Each session combines psychoeducation, interactive activities, and process-oriented discussions, offering practical tools and meaningful insights to support both parents and children.

01/07/2026

Our bodies and minds have a way of remembering anniversaries – those significant moments of loss and trauma, as well as recovery and healing. Right now, as we approach the anniversary of the LA Fires, we want to hold space for those who have been impacted – from those who lost homes, schools and places of worship; to first responders; to those displaced temporarily or still; to those who are family; to those who lost loved ones; to those who teach, nurture, coach and counsel those who are still getting their bearings.

We also want to hold space for resilience, strength, creativity and healing. As I listen to children, teens, and adults in our area, I hear about how support comes through ritual, community belonging, and self-compassion. This last year has included times to grow, build new community, create, and heal.

So grateful for our interdisciplinary Health Psychology Consult Group! 💛

Recently, we took this photo of a few of us—Alex Maddox, LMFT; Shannon Clark, PhD; Melissa Johnson, PhD; and Elise Pomerance, MD. Together with the rest of our group, we span a wide range of specialties in health and mental health. Our consultations are enriched by the diverse perspectives we each bring to the work. So grateful for these connections! ☺️
