Struggling 
 A "Struggling" child or teenager might display any of the following:


* Special educational needs that are not being met (e.g., ADHD)

* A need for structure and discipline to learn better habits and skills

* Behavior and or/emotional problems

* A struggle with psychiatric illness, eating disorders, or psychoses

* A battle with drug or alcohol abuse

* A struggle with the legal system

Families in my practice have typically exhausted all local resources.  Their children's needs go beyond the abilities of traditional therapists, teachers, and/or psychiatrists.  And the whole family, as well as the child, suffers.
