Just For You For Your Family OUR SPECIALTIES INCLUDE...
Begin with yourself.  Learn new skills and perspectives to bring fresh insight into your problems and your life.    Sessions are available in various formats.   You'll see results in a very short time. We believe the family plays one of the most important and influential roles in most people's lives.  Our family-focused approach produces long-term results by helping individuals and their families resolve problems together as a unit.  Families will learn new ways to enhance their relationships and reduce conflict through effective communication, positive parenting practices, and the use of discipline and monitoring.

For Your Marriage For Your Children
For most of us marriage is one of the most difficult and challenging relationships we will ever experience.   According to the U.S. Census Bureau, couples marrying for the first time face a roughly 50% chance of divorce!   Other studies reveal that of those couples who stay together, 50% report being miserable and unhappy.   In spite of these overwhelming statistics, your marriage can be a foundation of strength and satisfaction when you learn how to make it work.

Our couples learn empowering solutions to overcome difficulties and protect their relationship from marital dissatisfaction, conflict, and divorce.  You and your spouse will learn proven techniques to enhance emotional intimacy, increase commitment, and generate more happiness in your married life.

 We have extensive experience working with children with the most difficult backgrounds and pervasive problems including sexual abuse, physical trauma, behavioral and emotional handicaps, anger control, opposition/defiance, and depression.  Our counseling will help you children develop new social skills,  improve their self-esteem, and reduce the frequency of problem behaviors.
