Will White’s podcast shares the history and evolution of wilderness therapy as a modality for mental health. We discuss what is valuable and unique about wilderness therapy, and how it has informed my work with adolescents.

Have you ever wondered: Why does my teen cut themselves? Or, why doesn’t my teen go running to release tension instead of using drugs? In this episode with Beth Hillman, Parent Coach, we explore the thoughts and motivations of a struggling teen who turns to harmful behavior.

In this talk, I go into what was really going on for me as a teen (complete with photos of my old diary!) and how parents can give teens what they really need. Please note: This is a recorded guest talk, and available to OPLM members. You can register for an account at their site. OPLM is an incredible resource with many speaker talks and support groups.

Casey O’Roarty and I talk about being functional versus being emotionally well, how to get resistant teens on board when they need help, and the benefits of wilderness therapy.

An authentic and vulnerable conversation with host, Sheryl Gould, about the loneliness many young people experience, the hunger for real connection, and what teens wished their parents understood.

In this conversation, Andrea, Emie, and I break down the teenage psyche, and explore how they see the world and themselves. We discuss how parents can find faith their children will be okay, what role to play in their recovery, and how to find the right treatment and support.

I join Moira Healy on Your Teen, Anxiety and You to share what worked and what (mostly) didn’t in my treatment experiences. We also explore the pivotal role that a parent can have in true recovery, and the power of unconditional love.

Angie Peacock is a powerful advocate for a new paradigm of healing. In this interview, we discuss the mental health care system and why there is a current teen mental health crisis.

How to support a child, teen, or young adult in crisis from three valuable perspectives - a child and adolescent psychologist, a parent who supported her son through crisis, and a recovered “troubled teen” (that’s me)!

We all have different insights, experiences, and notes to share - overall, presenting a holistic philosophy on supporting your loved one.
