Parent–Teen Conflict Counseling

Finding Common Ground During Challenging Years

Raising a teenager in Dubai’s fast-paced, multicultural environment can be both rewarding and overwhelming. Parents often feel stuck between wanting to guide their child and giving them independence, while teens push for autonomy but struggle with communication. At the American Wellness Center in Dubai Healthcare City, our Parent–Teen Conflict Counseling provides a safe, structured space to rebuild trust, improve communication, and restore balance at home.

Who This Service Is For

This service is designed for families in Dubai who are:

• Experiencing frequent arguments, power struggles, or silent tension at home.
• Parents unsure how to set boundaries without pushing their teen away.
• Teens struggling with independence, identity, or peer pressure.
• Families adjusting to cultural differences, relocation stress, or changing household dynamics.
• Parents concerned about their teen’s emotional wellbeing but unsure how to connect.

If you and your teenager feel stuck in a cycle of conflict, this counseling can help you find healthier ways forward.

What We Address

Our therapists help families navigate:

• Power Struggles – Repeated arguments over rules, curfews, and responsibilities.
• Communication Gaps – Misunderstandings, silence, or emotional withdrawal.
• Independence & Boundaries – Supporting autonomy while keeping limits in place.
• Peer Pressure & Social Stress – Helping teens handle external influences while staying connected to family.
• Academic & Performance Pressure – Balancing school expectations with emotional wellbeing.
• Cultural & Expat Challenges – Managing generational and cultural differences in Dubai’s diverse environment.

These issues often affect the entire family’s wellbeing, not just the parent–teen relationship.

• Family Therapy & Mediation to create space for open and respectful dialogue.

• Parent Coaching Sessions to support consistent, healthy discipline and communication strategies.
• Emotion-Focused Therapy to help both sides express feelings without escalation.
