Parenting Group for Parents of Teens & Preteens

You don’t have to figure this stage out alone.

Support, Skills & Clarity for Parents Navigating the Teen Years

Parenting a teen or preteen can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be one of the most stressful and confusing phases of raising a child. Adolescence is a time of rapid emotional, social, and developmental change—not just for your child, but for you as a parent as well. At Liljana’s Practice, our Parenting Group for Parents of Teens & Preteens is designed to offer the support, insight, and community you need to navigate this journey with more confidence, clarity, and calm.

Whether your child is pulling away, struggling emotionally, acting out, or simply becoming more independent, this group creates a safe, validating space to process your challenges and learn practical tools for strengthening your relationship with your teen.

Why This Group Matters

The transition into adolescence can impact the entire family system. Many parents find themselves:

  • Unsure how to communicate without triggering conflict
  • Feeling disconnected or shut out by their child
  • Struggling to understand mood changes, irritability, or sudden behavior shifts
  • Navigating school pressures, social issues, or early signs of anxiety or depression
  • Feeling overwhelmed by growing independence and boundary-setting
  • Wondering how much freedom is too much—or too little
  • Feeling guilty, burnt out, or emotionally drained

You are not alone. These experiences are far more common than many parents realize. Our group provides a space to unpack these feelings, gain perspective, and learn tools you can use right away at home.

What This Group Offers

This is a therapist-led, structured group for parents looking to strengthen their parenting skills, deepen their connection with their teens, and understand adolescent development more clearly. The group blends:

✔ Emotional Support

A space to share your frustrations, fears, and hopes with other parents who truly get it.

✔ Skill-Building

Practical guidance on communication strategies, boundary setting, emotional regulation, and conflict resolution.

✔ Education

Insight into adolescent brain development, mood changes, identity formation, and the emotional world of teens.

✔ Community Connection

You’ll meet other parents experiencing similar challenges and build supportive relationships beyond your individual home life.

✔ Guidance from a Trauma-Informed Lens

We understand how your past parenting experiences—and your own childhood—can influence the way you respond to your teen today.

Topics We Explore Together

Each session focuses on specific themes, including:

  • Understanding the adolescent brain
  • Improving communication and reducing conflict
  • Supporting emotional regulation in your teen
  • Navigating school stress, peer pressure, and social media challenges
