We believe that childhood should be a time for healthy growth and development with a happy family. For many children and teens, it is a time of great emotional stress. Children react to stress in many ways including withdrawal and acting out behaviors at home and school. Parents and school personnel want to help children become happy, loving adults, however in today's society this can be a difficult goal.

Are you and your spouse arguing more? Is the romance seemingly gone from your marriage? Is money always an issue, or parenting, or whose job is it to.? You are not sure why but you know your marriage is not working and you can not figure out what the next step is? You may even be putting off certain conversations because you know it will not really be a conversation, just another argument.
Your child seems caught up with worry and it's keeping them from achieving what they want and stopping you from any meaningful communication. Talking and consequences do not work, whatever happened to that fun loving child that used to run around the house? You have been trying to find ways to help him keep up with everyone's expectations, but it seems that any way you get involved only drives a wider and wider gulf between the two of you.
I remember when I first started in my counseling program in college I thought "Why are there so many different modalities I have to study?" In my years of practice I have come to realize there is no "one size fits all" in the counseling room.
Many factors go into which modality fits your need: 1) your therapists training (no one can master all the modalities), 2) why you came into the counseling office (different modalities work better with different problems) and 3) different stages of life require different modalities.I hope the following summaries help you understand some of the modalities used at the Center.
