Respond Better, Connect Deeper

 Parenting a teen is challenging, and our reactions can shape how they feel and behave. Suzi Marsh Meffen, LCSW, helps parents pause, reflect, and respond thoughtfully through Proactive Parenting, a 12-step inspired approach designed to break patterns that create conflict and foster trust and understanding. Through therapy with Suzi, parents learn how their actions influence their teen, communicate with empathy, and guide their family toward healthier connections. Teens gain a safe space to express themselves and grow, while parents develop practical strategies to respond calmly and effectively.

Empowered teens, Intentional parents.

  Therapy gives families the tools to communicate effectively, navigate conflict, and understand each other on a deeper level. When teens feel heard and supported, they develop confidence, resilience, and healthy coping skills. When parents learn to respond thoughtfully and reflect on their own behaviors, family patterns shift, trust strengthens, and connection grows. 

 Therapy isn’t just about solving problems—it’s about creating a family culture where everyone feels understood, valued, and empowered to thrive together. 

The 12-Step Inspired Approach

This phase equips you with the tools to notice subtle changes, respond thoughtfully, and support your teen before challenges escalate, creating a calmer, more connected home.
