The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a Licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible version of ourselves. Today we’re chatting all about how to keep the lines of communication open between you and your teen daughter. For this conversation I was joined by Gretchen Campbell, LPC. Gretchen and I chatted about some of the common concerns she hears working with teens and their moms, how moms can take care of themselves while parenting their teen daughter, how to support your daughter in making healthy decisions about things like friends and social media, and of course she shared her favorite resources for moms of teens.   Resources Mentioned Visit our <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/shop/therapy4bgirls" target="_blank" rel= "noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amazon.com/shop/therapy4bgirls&source=gmail&ust=1574314004319000&usg=AFQjCNFBGq2tJiIGF-6Xwjy8OI4t8SkoRQ">Amazon Store</a> for all the books mentioned on the podcast! <a href="https://www.parents.com/">Parents Magazine</a> <a href="https://momsmagazine.com/">Moms Magazine</a>   Where to Find Gretchen <a href= "https://www.growencourageempower.com/">https://www.growencourageempower.com/</a> <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/dp/1733411909/?ref=idea_lv_dp_ov_d&tag=aiponsite-20&linkCode=ic6&ascsubtag=amzn1.ideas.3E91LZ6ILDOGH"> Buy Gretchen's Book</a> Twitter: <a href= "https://www.twitter.com/growencourage">@growencourage</a> Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/grow_encourage_empower">@grow_encourage_empower</a> Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/growencourageempower">@growencourageempower</a>   If you're looking for a therapist in your area, check out the directory at <a href= "https://www.therapyforblackgirls.com/directory" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.therapyforblackgirls.com/directory&source=gmail&ust=1574314004319000&usg=AFQjCNGyO9FHQUkue0HwNn2UMZ9kuvfSVQ">https://www.therapyforblackgirls.com/directory</a>.
