Is this a Phase or Is It Something More?

Most parents have been there. Something feels off with their teenager, but they can’t quite name it. In this episode of What Do We Do Now? from AMFM Healthcare, host Robin Lovell sits down with two clinicians who work with teens and families every day to help parents figure out when to worry and when to wait.

Robin is joined by Aja Chavez, Vice President of Adolescent Services at AMFM Healthcare and a licensed therapist with years of direct experience in residential and outpatient care. Also joining the conversation is Dr. David Rowe, a neuropsychologist who leads a nationwide assessment practice and spends his days helping families understand what is really going on with their child beneath the surface.

They cover what normal teenage development actually looks like, where it crosses into something more serious, and why waiting too long to ask for help is one of the most common mistakes families make. If you are in that uncertain space right now, this episode is a good place to start.
