In this episode of Everyday Therapy, hosts Brett Cushing, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and Dr. Karin Ryan, Licensed Psychologist, explore the delicate balance between guiding your teen and giving them space to grow. They share practical insights on modeling healthy behaviors, repairing relationships, teaching responsibility, and navigating tough conversations about everything from social media to substance use.
The discussion highlights both the “big picture” goals of parenting—like preparing teens for adulthood—and the everyday choices that make a lasting difference. You’ll walk away with tangible strategies that are easy to understand (though not always easy to implement!) and reassurance that progress, not perfection, is what matters most.
