It is never too early to start thinking about the upcoming school year. As parents, we want our children to have a successful and positive experience in school. The first day of school can be stressful for parents and children. Children may worry about making new friends or how they look in their new clothes. Parents may worry about whether their child will fit in with their new classmates or if their child will be bullied at school.
Do feelings of depression, helplessness, or anxiety have you off balance?
Stress related to life changes can affect all of us. A career setback, relationship difficulties, a breakup, separation or divorce, relocation, the passing of a loved one, the birth of a child, children leaving home, aging parents, aging pets, and our own health concerns can affect each of us differently. If stress, feelings of sadness or depression, helplessness, worries or anxiety, or other issues are interfering with your ability to function well at home, at work, or in your community, counseling can help.
Concerned about your child’s behavior at school, at home, in your community?
Our lives revolve around our children. We worry about them every day. We work hard to provide them a comfortable, safe haven. Despite our best efforts, we sometimes need help. If you’re concerned about your child’s behavior including episodes of excessive sadness, anxiety, anger or acting out, counseling is a good option. Neuropsychological and psychological testing can also help determine and manage any learning and/or attention problems.

Family counseling examines and sorts through the relationships, conflicts, and behaviors that are at the center of challenging family interactions. Working with a family’s patterns and behaviors can help reduce problems and improve interactions facing individual family members.
