Parenting
We promote healthy
relationships for children, teens and their families by encouraging
effective and solution oriented communication. Together, we will
work with each family to construct a concrete vision of a “preferred
future.” Families can set goals by identifying the things they
wish to have changed in their lives, recognize what is currently
working for them, and wish to continue.
Our trained
professionals can assist with issues of defiance, anger, school
challenges, inappropriate sexual behaviors and more.
We can help parents
define themselves as a powerful role model based on their core
values and beliefs by creating “step by step” strategies that
promote positive results.
The following
questions may help you determine if you need assistance with your
toddler, school-aged child, or teen:
-
Are
you frustrated with your child not responding to simple
requests that lead to you feeling out of control, raising
your voice or pulling your hair out?
-
Are
you getting notes from your child’s school due to behaviors
in the classroom?
-
Is
your child not responding to consequences or punishments?
-
Does your child not respect personal space of other children
or adults?
-
Are
you experiencing conflicts in your relationship due to your
child’s behavior?
-
Do
you feel your children argue or fight more than seems
appropriate for the situation?
-
Are
you struggling in your relationship to come together on a
parenting style in your home (including with a new spouse,
partner, or new member of the household)?
-
Are
you having trouble parenting your child due to new
stressors, such as a major life event (loss of job, death of
a loved one, birth of a child, illness, financial
difficulties, or divorce)?

If you answered
yes to several of these items, it is recommended that you seek help
from our trained professionals.
