Help for Troubled Teens

Is your good kid spiraling out of control?

Get Your Good Kid Back!

Your child deserves a healthy, well-adjusted life and a bright future.

Watching your child go off the rails and feeling powerless feels like you are living your worst nightmare. It’s frightening to know your teen’s next decision can be the one that changes their entire future.

It is normal to feel overwhelmed, desperate, and lost right now.

At this point, you tried bargaining, screaming, begging, pleading, therapy, and in some cases, even medication.  You listened and accepted their promises, but in the end, they broke their promises and continued to lie.  Their anger, defiance, and continued disobedience or outburst are more than you can take! 

It is time to act! This situation is not hopeless!

Get the Help Your Struggling At Risk  Troubled Teenager Needs!

The behavior of an out-of-control teenager affects everyone in the family. There are many programs available to help “troubled teenagers.” Each program claims to be unique. 

There are short-programs, long-term specialty and comprehensive program offerings.  Some focus on behavioral issues, some offer personalized care and focus on mental health.

Should I wait, maybe it will get better…

It is normal to want to put this decision off — to want to wait, give your teenager another chance. 

Instead of giving in to that thought, please take a moment to consider how many times you encouraged them to make better choices, and they chose poorly. Likewise, it is essential to think about what’s going on with your child right now. What is the level of risk? 

It is true that not every teen who is belligerent and disobedient needs a program. I can help you figure out if this is the right decision for your family.  

Maybe I Should Try Something Less Drastic…

Let’s be honest, no parent wants to send their teenager away to residential treatment center or therapeutic boarding school.  

However, the fact is that every day you delay making this difficult love decision, you are also delaying your child from getting healthy and dealing with the root cause of their actions. Making this love decision is difficult and it is normal to change your mind and find reasons to wait or put it off.  

Worrying that your child will hate you and will never forgive you is also normal.  But ultimately the answer should be yes, absolutely. This is necessary for your child to get better, you should do this… in every case. The fact is that teens who are enrolled in a troubled teen program eventually realize they needed help and are grateful their parents loved them enough to get them the best treatment for their specific situation. 

You need to understand that no child wants to be in pain and whether they realize it or not, they are acting out for a reason. 

Your teen wants to be happy. They want to feel better. They want to live; they don’t know how to stop the pain.

Don’t give in to that fear! Be brave! You got this! You can do this!

You can save your child’s life and secure his future!

Believe it or not, this is a small industry, and you need someone on your side who is knowledgeable of the process and the ins and outs of the industry.

Over the past twenty years, I helped thousands of families find the answers they are seeking. I want to help you save your teen and empower your family to a more peaceful, healthy, happy life.

out of control Is your good kid spiraling out of control?

Sending our son to a therapeutic boarding school was the most significant decision my wife and I have ever made and I am so glad we had Mary’s help at every step of the way.

Going this process on our own with our limited knowledge was not going to maximize our chances of success. We were fortunate to have found Mary of EmpowerMyTeen.

Mary has deep knowledge of the schools available and was able to help us find one that fit our son well. There is so much information and misinformation out there and Mary helped us focus on the truth.

We requested Mary’s services for placement services and coaching for the whole period that our son was in the program. Our son is home now and doing very well.

The overall success our family had is as good as we could have hoped for and we give the credit to Mary and the wonderful staff of the school.

Mary is professional, knowledgeable, experienced, kind and empathetic.
