In addition to counseling in a traditional office setting, we offer clients the option to combine exercise, therapy, and the outdoors. Studies have shown that problem solving ability increases during exercise. This approach adds the physical benefits of exercise and the mental benefits of being outdoors. The beautiful Big Springs Park is a block away from our office. The emphasis is on the therapy so this won’t be a cardio workout but you should wear comfortable clothes and shoes suitable for walking.
Let’s be real – this parenting thing is just REALLY hard. We may have the best intentions but we also need good methods and guidance at times. Every kid is different, every stage is different, and just when we start feeling comfortable with this parenting role it changes again. We can help you clarify your values, identify your goals, and develop effective discipline techniques. Parenting is the most important job there is. We love helping people who want to do it well.
One out of five kids will experience a mental disorder in a given year, whether that’s depression, anxiety, attention problems, behavior problems, or a traumatic experience. We work to help kids understand the connection between feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Through use of play therapy, art therapy, and other expressive techniques, children are given tools to communicate what is happening internally. 
Caring for someone with an illness, injury, or disability can be rewarding but can also be emotionally and physically exhausting. Caregiver stress often brings anger, guilt, and feelings of resentment. Depression is very common as well as insomnia, fatigue, and stomach symptoms. Self-care for the caregiver is not a luxury, it is necessity. We love taking care of the people who take care of everyone else.
