The Wise Family & Amy Fortney Parks
Is your child having trouble making friends, paying attention in school, or managing big feelings? Does your teen seem moody, distant, and unhappy? Are you finding that your family is having constant battles or struggling to get along on a day-to-day basis?. Connect with us for counseling and support by texting 'wisehelp' to 66866 or call us at 1-844-WISE FAM to start your mental health journey today!.

It's easy in our very busy world to go days without really connecting with our kids and teens, as we go from carpool to work to carpool to sports to dinner to bedtime to collapse. And we can often miss the signs that bigger things are happening with our children and teens until we get right to the edge of a cliff.
Services
We read through your website from start to finish and were so impressed by your extensive credentials and training but, the real reason why we want to work with you is your clear enthusiasm for children and families and the wisdom and deep love you share for both! Thank you very much for testing my child and getting us the report so quickly.

If the thought of leaving work or pulling your child from school once or twice a week is daunting, or that you don't want to come up with an explanation for you or your child's absence, TeleMental Health Services are just what you need. Virtual Mental Health sessions allow you or your child to connect with a therapist online, through a HIPPA compliant platform.
Young ones who get into scraps right as you get on the phone with a good friend. A daughter who bosses around all the other girls on the playground. A son who'd rather make armpit farts to crack up his classmates than read. A teen who throws a fit when their soccer team loses. A spouse who handles family discipline in the exact opposite way of what you think is best.

I have so much respect and love for all the members of The Wise Family I've dealt with! There is a deep genuineness to the practice. I have worked with Dr. Amy for many years and each time we speak I leave feeling calmer and happier about life. She has this empathetic, totally and completely understanding manner that makes you feel like you're truly understood and heard-- If you, your child or your family are struggling, I'd highly recommend trying Wise out.

For brothers and sisters who are going through major life changes, separation, or divorce, my prayers are with you during this difficult time. With kids involved during the process can be even more challenging and complicated. My attorney suggested to write a review over a year ago, but I like to give myself some space to make sure I can looking at the situation more objectively. At this point, I am compelled to write this review because if I don't, its going to cause more public harm to a lot of families, brothers (especially), and kids.
