Counseling Children and Teens   I use a variety of nationally recognized programs to help guide your family toward achieving peace and emotional well being.     Parenting with Love and Limits (Scott Sells, Ph.D.) This parent education program teaches parents the basics of dealing with behavioral problems and how to effectively stop these behaviors.  Parents are given specific tools to fix the problem quickly. The Parenting with Love and Limits program coaches parents proactively from resistance to success.   Bullies to Buddies (Izzy Kalman, M.S.) The Bullies to Buddies Program uses a unique approach to stop children/adolescents from becoming the victim of anger or aggression.  Through the techniques taught in this program a child or adolescent will stop being a victim and feel empowered to handle any troubling relationship in a healthy way.   Boundaries with Kids (Dr. Cloud & Dr. Townsend) This program teaches parents through biblically based principals how to raise children of character.  Parents are shown effective ways to help their children take responsibility for their lives through setting limits and defining boundaries.   Art and Play Therapy Art and play therapy are useful when counseling children.  Art and play therapy promote unconditional acceptance while allowing the therapist to adapt to the level of the child.  Through the use of art materials, books, toys, and games therapy is hands on and active.
