Family Therapy for Parent-Teen Conflict

“‘Ohana’ means family and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.” — Stitch from "Lilo & Stitch"

A group of four people, two adults and two children, posing happily in front of a light blue garage door. One woman has blonde hair, wears a black tank top, and is smiling with her eyes closed. The man has short curly hair, wears a striped black and white shirt, and is smiling broadly. The young girl with long black hair is being held by the man, wearing a colorful dress and sandals, resting her head on the man's shoulder. The smaller girl, standing in front, has black hair, wears a white dress with black straps, and is smiling brightly.
