Blair Counseling and Mediation works to provide tools that can be used to save relationships. Kids are deeply affected by adult or child depression, anxiety, behavior problems, conflict, and divorce. We like, value and care for our clients. We want to communicate understanding and compassion. We need to work on your goals, not ours. Most importantly, we must get feedback regarding the client's experience of the alliance and progress.
According to the most thorough reviews of the empirical literature, the most reliable predictor of successful counseling is not technique or the counselor; it is the quality of alliance between client and counselor. Better alliances result in better outcomes when working with individuals, couples and families, children and adolescents, and mandated/involuntary clients.
We also like to use humor where appropriate. Researchers in the healthcare field have also established connections between humor and physical and mental health. Humor changes brain chemistry.

Kids today are exposed to more problems than a generation ago thanks to the internet, cable, and cell phones.
Even if kids have limited access to the media, they are still exposed to it through the activity and conversation of their peers.
