You must be pulling your hair out.

My 15 year old niece is struggling in therapy. It is even a bigger struggle for her parents as they see no improvement. She just doesn't want to talk. I'm not sure what the T is doing/able to do in such a case.

I am ticked at your story incidentally as, at that age, the doctor patient relationship also includes parents. Are you able to use one of the sessions to take the time to have a full discussion with the T? You have the right I believe to sit in on a session too.
She used to call me into some of the seasons and at times my boys will request for me to be present. Lately that hasn't happened. Two weeks ago I found out about this weeks schedule through my 15 year old. She used to have more of an open communication with me and the kids but that has changed. I get one word answers or nothing at all. I'm not sure how keen she is for me to use a session eventhough there's always at least 30 min left every week which she uses for herself or whatever she does. You would figure that she has at least 20 min of that time to speak to me address concerns or changes.
