Marital & Premarital Counseling
Premarital Counseling
Premarital counseling is a great way for couples to prepare for the journey of marriage. It provides an opportunity to explore and discuss the different issues and expectations that come with marriage, such as finances, parenting, and family dynamics. Premarital counseling can also help couples identify and manage potential areas of conflict before they arise. Most importantly, it can offer the tools and insight necessary to build a strong and lasting relationship.
Marriage Counseling
Marriage counseling can be a beneficial tool for couples who are struggling in their relationship. It provides a safe space to talk about feelings and address issues that are affecting the relationship. Through marriage counseling, couples can learn how to better understand and support one another, as well as develop healthy communication skills. Marriage counseling can also help couples identify and heal past wounds, set goals, and work towards a stronger and more fulfilling relationship.
Parenting
Many parents feel that they have nowhere to turn when it comes to advice on parenting. Parent counseling offers a safe space to express your feelings and learn how to better manage them.
Here are some important benefits:
Unbiased Support and Guidance
Parent counseling is a service that provides bias-free guidance, tools, and support. It focuses on how each parent affects the family dynamics. It provides an objective outsider's view into the home, allowing for unbiased decision making via a trained professional.
Emotional Support
Parents often feel that they have nowhere to turn for support when it comes to parenting. Parent counseling provides a safe space to express feelings and learn how to manage them.
Improves Conflict Resolution Skills
Parent counseling teaches techniques to handle conflict, which helps children understand that conflict can be healthy and a good opener for communication. It also teaches parents how to manage expectations when a parent-child conflict has reached the point where neither can be a winner.
Understands Your Parenting Style
Parent counseling helps parents understand the pros and cons of their parenting style, allowing them to maximize their strengths and work on their weaknesses.
Shows Your Children You Care
When parents take the step and begin parent counseling, children see that they care about the family, which can bring hope and make positive change easier to achieve.
Relationships
Relationship Counseling offers a way to improve relationships in a wide variety of areas, including family relationships, business relationships, and various social relationships. We use multiple techniques to move the process forward, including conflict resolution, mediation, and communication.
Our goal is to help resolve and heal relationships in a manner that creates a win-win for everyone.
Academic / Social and Emotional Learning for Kids
Social Emotional Learning, or SEL, is all about helping children cultivate the skills they need for a successful life. It involves teaching them the five key competencies of self-management, self-awareness, relationship-building, responsible decision-making, and social awareness. These competencies are essential for success, both in the present and in the future.
With SEL, kids can learn to be emotionally intelligent, make better decisions, build strong relationships, and become more socially aware. Contact us to learn more about our services to improve SEL and academic performance for your child.
Academic services include developing study skills, organization, and advocacy skills with children. Justin is available to speak directly to schools to help create a team approach for kids, leveraging his 13 years in public education.
