Parental Alienations

I know beyond a doubt that there is parental alienation going on. My 17yo daughter has sided with her father. But how do you deal with alienation when it also comes from the counsellor she’s seeing?
I’ve read records from a subpoena with her licensed counsellor that any problem she has, whether its with me, her dad, extended family, etc. that the counsellor proceeds to tell her to talk the issues over with her father. Never once does the counsellor tell her to come to me with any issues; even if it relates to me or my extended family.

See if you can make an appointment with the therapist to directly address your concerns with him or her to learn why the therapist is doing this.

You may also want to consider reunification therapy with your daughter.
