Parenting is supposed to be one of life’s greatest joys. You may have dreamed about having children for many years, as early as childhood, or maybe it wasn’t until your child was conceived that you really began fantasizing about what life with children would be like. You likely had a vision of all the wonderful times you would be having with your children. You daydreamed about spending quality time together, getting along, giggling, playing, and of course your children were going to be good listeners and do as they were told. Unfortunately child rearing hardly goes as planned. Children do not come with a manual and we are not able to control who they become as much as we would like sometimes. Getting counseling for your child can help!

     Despite our best efforts as parents, our children still often develop mental health or relational problems or just need a little extra help navigating childhood. They encounter traumatic events, become stressed, and need to learn coping skills to learn to manage life’s challenges. Sometimes it is difficult to even know what your child is experiencing as they often shut down and stop communicating, but our child counselors can help!
