[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm sorry for all the crappy responses on this thread. You might have better luck in the Kids with Special Needs forum. I have an older teen who struggles with LDs, anxiety and depression. I totally understand. We have done various combinations of meds and therapy for years. There is very slow progress, but it feels that we are forever on the verge of it all falling apart.

I have not contacted this program, but find it interesting. If it's not a good fit for your family, maybe they have recommendations. http://www.mythrive.net/_pages/herons_gate/_herons_gate_intro.htm

Another resource is the book Emptying the Nest. The author is a specialist in this area and has a practice in Columbia.

While it seems like basic psychology, we have been doing this for many years. Not all psychologists are good. Not all of them are able to establish a rapport with a reluctant adolescent (there are entire books on how difficult this is). It takes a lot of work to get a reluctant adolescent into therapy - you really need to do everything you can to vet them and make reasonably sure they are likely to help or you are only making the resistance more entrenched by having to switch.[/quote]
