Who It's For
Parents of teens
Understanding why your teen is pulling away changes everything about how you respond.
What This Is
Psychoeducation meets peer support
These groups are for parents who are working hard and still feel like they're losing ground with their teenager. Every session is grounded in the attachment science behind adolescent behavior — why teens withdraw, why they push you away, what's actually driving the conflict — and focused on what you can do about it.
This isn't therapy, and it isn't a support group in the traditional sense. It's structured psychoeducation with room for real conversation. You'll leave each session with a framework that makes your teenager's behavior more intelligible, and with practical tools you can use that week.
Groups are capped at 12 participants so that every parent has room to be heard. We meet on Zoom, which means you can join from anywhere in the country.
"Daniel Ahearn has done something rare — he has translated a sophisticated clinical model into language that parents can actually use."
— Dr. David Elliott, PhD · Co-developer, Integrative Attachment Therapy
What We Cover
Topics include
This is a good fit if:
- —Your teenager is pulling away and you don't know why
- —Every conversation turns into a conflict or ends in shutdown
- —You're doing everything you can think of and nothing is working
- —You want to understand attachment science, not just get advice
- —You're willing to look at your own history as part of the picture
- —You want to be around other parents navigating similar things
This is not the right fit if:
- —You're looking for a place to vent without wanting to grow
- —You want your teenager to be "fixed" without changing yourself
- —You're in acute crisis and need individual clinical support
- —You're looking for parenting tips and quick techniques
If you need more individualized support, the Family & Teen Therapy option may be a better fit.
About the Facilitator
Who's leading these groups
Daniel J. Ahearn is an LMFT, CADC, and one of six IAT-certified clinicians in the United States. He's Director of Culture at Ascend Healthcare, a residential treatment program for adolescents, and has spent over a decade in clinical work with teenagers and their families.
He trained directly with Dr. Daniel P. Brown and Dr. David Elliott in the Three Pillars / Integrative Attachment Therapy framework, and is the author of The Way Back Home: Healing Attachment Wounds with Your Teen.
These groups distill the same framework he uses in individual and family clinical work into a format accessible to any parent — regardless of whether they're in therapy themselves.
