We believe there is no such thing as a 'bad kid' or a 'problem child'; only a child struggling to survive and be understood.
We are dedicated to trying to understand the world through your child's eyes.
Your child can learn to better regulate his emotions and establish a calmer, more stable mood.
You can feel relief knowing your relationship with your child can flourish despite his emotional and behavioral struggles.

All families have difficulties.
It's easy to assume that the other families we see in our FB or Instagram feed "have it all together", because we tend to only show the world our highlights reel.but the truth is we all struggle from time to time (and sometimes in a big way).
Our belief is that families in crisis can leverage their existing strengths to help one another cope with whatever challenge they may be facing.
Whether it's a child experiencing severe emotional distress from bullying, a married/partnered couple dealing with the effects of infidelity, or simply a family seeking to communicate more effectively together, we will work with you to build on the foundation you have and join with you in working for a healthier future.

EMDR is an evidence-based therapy practice that is indicated for a range of mental health issues, but especially for use in the treatment of trauma-related disorders e.g.
PTSD.
It utilizes eye-movement exercises that mimic REM sleep patterns to open up adaptive neural pathways, which allows the clinician to guide the client through a process of working through painful traumatic memories in a non-invasive manner.

This is a question that only you can answer for yourself.
Consider the fact that you are already here and asking this question as an indicator that you are desiring to take a step toward positive change.
Counseling is for anybody and everybody.
As a 'rule', if an issue is interfering with the ability to enjoy life, feel whole, complete tasks, reach goals, or thrive at work, school or home, it is worth exploring the option of therapy.
If you are questioning whether "things have gotten bad enough" to warrant therapy, know that many clients reflect that in hindsight they wish they had not waited so long to begin counseling.
