Anger Management Groups
   Anger is an emotion we all feel. It is what a person does with their anger that differs. Anger, a normal human emotion, is the body's reaction to hurt or the threat of hurt. 
   There are two major problems with anger; not expressing it (which leads to resentment, depression, and health problems), and expressing it irresponsibly (which can lead to exploding hostility and even physical violence).
   Our program assists people with addressing the issues causing the anger as well as the need to release the anger safely and responsibly without directing it towards anyone else.

Child Abuse Offender Program
    There are many kinds of child abuse, and an equal number of kinds of offenders. To single one out here would be misleading. 
    We offer a variety of programs to address these issues.  Please contact us for details regarding the particular program or service which would apply to your situation. 

Co-Parenting Counseling
   Our co-parenting program is for parents of divorce who are court ordered to meet with a therapist to help them develop a "business relationship" of cooperative parenting.  Both parents meet together with the therapist at the same time to help with communication, cooperation and problem solving skills.
   We have helped many participants using our approach to proactive parenting and are confident you will find our offering to be high quality, exceptional and a great learning experience. 

Critical Incident Stress Debriefing
    Tragedies, deaths, serious injuries, hostage situations, threatening situations - these events are known as "Critical Incidents." People who respond to emergencies encounter highly stressful events almost every day, but they are not the only people who are affected by them.  Sometimes an event is so traumatic or overwhelming that a person may experience significant stress reactions.  The Critical Incident Stress Debriefing process is specifically designed to prevent or mitigate the development of post-traumatic stress among individuals.

Individual Counseling
   Individual therapy consists of face-to-face contacts between a qualified professional and the person(s) in treatment. The focus is on the present problem and associated feelings, assessing possible causes of the problem, and possible alternative courses of action and their consequences. The frequency and type of treatment will be decided on an individual basis between you and your therapist.

Parenting Education
   Poor parenting skills can have devastating and lasting effects on relationships. Lack of good parenting skills can also lead to poor self-esteem in your children and the modeling of inappropriate behavior. Learning effective parenting skills will not only improve your relationships with your children and co-parent(s), but also reinforce appropriate behavior in others.
   Whether you are a single parent, married couple, blended family, or going through a divorce we offer a comprehensive parenting program. 
   Our Parenting Education Program is based on psycho-educational approach to better parenting, developed by experienced licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, and clinically tested to be effective. We have helped many participants using our approach to proactive parenting and are confident you will find our offering to be high quality, exceptional and a great learning experience. 

Play Therapy
    Play is the language of a child, and Play Therapy is a specialized therapy approach that builds on the normal communicative and learning processes of children.  Today play therapy refers to a large number of treatment methods, all applying the therapeutic benefits of play and building upon the natural ways that children learn about themselves and their relationships in the world around them.  
    The Association for Play Therapy defines play therapy as "the systematic use of a theoretical model to establish an interpersonal process wherein trained play therapists use the therapeutic powers of play to help clients prevent or resolve psychosocial difficulties and achieve optimal growth and development."
    Our Play Therapy is specialized to the individual client by an experienced and certified play therapist based upon the particular situation.  Please contact us for additional information.
