Opposition and defiance in adolescence can be a nightmare for parents. Parents can often feel exhausted and confused about how to approach and effectively deal with a defiant adolescent and feel drained and lose hope.  The anger or pure defiance of authority that their child displays can cause the whole household to suffer.

At the Bay Area Center for Adolescents, we work well with defiant and oppositional adolescents, engaging them in therapy, and working with families to bring peace to their homes.  We provide individual, group, and family therapy as well as offer psychological assessments at our centers in San Francisco, Marin, the East Bay, the Peninsula, the South Bay and Anywhere in California via Zoom.  We have psychiatrists on staff who also evaluate the adolescents to determine if there is a problem that requires medication and an educational therapist who can help look for out of home placements, if it came to that.  In addition to our Center, we also are connected to the Bay Area Oppositional and Conduct Clinic, which works with some of the most difficult cases.
