When children or teens start struggling to perform in school, it is a good indicator that they are dealing with something they are unable to express or cope with. Children and teens have to deal with many issues such as divorce, separation, discord at home, abuse and bullying, just to name a few. This makes it difficult to focus and put forth the effort needed to perform well in school. This also is true at the college level. Although the issues may be different, they can still become overwhelming and spill over into the many demands of college.
We help by assisting our clients to gain insight and an understanding of their problems. Clients gain the coping skills needed to deal with these difficult situations and others that may arise in the future. We also help open the lines of communication within the family so everyone is comfortable in communicating openly about difficult issues and supporting each other. |

Testimonials |
"Being an incest and trauma survivor, I’ve had so many things taken from me. Therapy is helping me reclaim all that belongs to me, to stand up and appropriately ask for what I need, to create a healthy family of choice, and be able to do something as simple as just look in the mirror and love who and what I see there. I’m learning to value myself, and see the gifts and talents I have to contribute. Therapy is teaching me that it is ok that I survived, and that there is so much more to me than just being an abuse survivor. I’m learning to re-create myself by exploring myself, my likes and dislikes, to make my own choices and mistakes, to have a voice, and to trust – not only others, but myself, first and foremost. I’m learning to trust my gut, my instinct, my system, whatever you want to call it, and just be comfortable and at peace – AT HOME—in my own skin, heart and mind." |
