Many parents seeking help for their child will be served best by working with me separately from the child. Typically, this is in cases where parents need support and education about handling challenging behaviors and/or dealing with children presenting with complex neurological issues.
Family counseling is offered when the issues warrant the parents, child(ren), and perhaps other extended family members to be involved in creating change on the level of the family system. This is particularly useful when an individual’s particular challenges has created imbalance in the family dynamics, and to empower parents to regain sense of secure and healthy leadership in the home.
