Does your teenager defy almost everything,
including your help?
If your
adolescent is struggling or if you're losing sleep over your
teenager, you
know too well how difficult life has become.
These are just a few of the many areas where your teenager may be
hurting.
depression |
substance abuse |
|
teenage pregnancy |
sexual identity |
|
self-confidence |
school issues |
|
anger / defiance |
and
many other challenges |
Your family may not be able to move forward until your teenager's
behavior changes.
Research shows that
adolescents are much more likely to re-direct their negative behavior
into positive choices when working with a trained professional who
utilizes a
powerful, eclectic, and dynamic
approach that is
caring with
high expectations in counseling / therapy and
in treatment plans.
The good news
is that your adolescent's destructive behaviors can be redirected into
positive choices without losing their unique personality.

Jessica (high school student) says:
I was feeling sad and lonely.
I was being defiant to my parents and was irritated by everyone. Even if
someone looked cross-eyed at me, I'd explode.
The first session with Dr. Kyle gave me so much hope
that things could get better. I felt like he understood me.
I looked forward to the sessions for the most part. But, there
were times when the work felt a little overwhelming, but it was worth it
in the long run. There was "homework" to do. And,
doing the "homework" actually helped
me find solutions
to problems I thought I had no control over. I learned that I teach people how to
treat me. I like having more control in my life and being a better kid.
Things aren't perfect, but they're a lot better
and I'm a lot happier. Dr.
Kyle didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear, and he had high expectations.
My life got a lot better and that's what I wanted to get out of the
counseling sessions.
Dr. Kyle also coached me on how to prepare for college.
I was kinda feeling overwhelmed about what to expect
when going to college compared to high school. Dr. Kyle showed me the
differences (whew, there were a lot of differences) and he gave me
"homework" that prepared me to walk into my first college course
with confidence.
I was less freaked out about the whole thing.
If you feel like you need help with your life and not many people understand you
(and it's hard to even understand yourself), you should have your
parents contact Dr. Kyle. He helped me be a
happier person....and I'm a lot more fun
to be around. |

Vicki (parent) says:
I was feeling
stressed
and
confused
as to how to handle things as the
relationship with my son was slowly
deteriorating. After all, what I
had tried so far hadn't brought the results I longed for.
I woke up
one Monday morning after a very
difficult
weekend and some how realized that
I no longer needed to handle things on my own without help.
I contacted Dr. Kyle Good wanting help in
rebuilding my relationship
with my son. I learned
more effective ways to improve
our relationship
while at the same time teaching my son to be more responsible.
Dr. Kyle helped us create a system in our home that was based on
having
mutual respect,
improving communication, making
positive choices,
decreasing power struggles, and getting our life
back on track.
Daily
battles
around schoolwork and family rules were replaced with fewer testing of
limits, more respect, less power struggles, and a
closer relationship all
around.
If you're looking for help for your teenager, family, or just for yourself, I
highly recommend that you
contact Dr. Kyle.
I know you will be pleased with the results. I was.

 Hello.
I'm Dr. Kyle Good.
I can help decrease anger / defiance, depression, and anxiety...
As a Ph.D. level counselor / therapist, I
employ a therapeutic
approach, which can change your
adolescent's negative thought patterns
(that are leading to poor decisions
and destructive behaviors) into positive actions.
Your teenager's core personality and uniqueness is enhanced
as the energy put into the negative is re-directed toward positive
thoughts, attitudes, decisions, and
behaviors.
The effectiveness of this approach is well-documented.
For over 24 years, I've been helping teenagers
and families work through conflict in order to get
life back on track. I
carefully listen
in order to
really
understand
and "get"
where you and your teenager are coming from.
I know what it means to
struggle with difficult situations
and come out on the other end having found
relief, hope, and
solutions.
Issues are addressed in a timely manner
in order to
quickly apply solutions
the very next day.
I know that life is
hectic. There's work, school,
homework, extra-curricular activities, and family obligations all competing
for
precious time.
Time may be
getting in the way of seeking help. It's important to me that families
get the help they need. So, I offer
flexible
hours at my
Kirkland
office.
I'm here to help.
Please feel free to contact me at (206)
550-3596 or email me at DrKyle@DrKyle.org
if you have any questions or if you're ready to move forward to set up an
appointment.
Together, we can find solutions for your adolescent and help bring your
family back together.
- Dr. Kyle Good
