Families grow and change over time. It is not uncommon for a family to get “stuck”. They feel as if they are caught in the same destructive patterns day in and day out. Our work with family counseling includes looking at the family as a whole and observing the dynamics involved.

Relationships and marriages are challenging at times. Communication and listening becomes heavy and we need help navigating through the difficult challenges.

Today’s adolescents are growing up at such a young age. The messages they receive from the media and society are constant and confusing. Very rarely is a teen willing or happy to attend therapy. They do not have the skill set to verbalize the multitude of emotions they feel. We excel at gaining the adolescent’s respect and trust in order to help them feel safe in opening up. Getting a teen to see their true value and worth is vital in helping them learn to operate in today’s world. Creating a sense of who they are. Increased self awareness and self esteem is key. We work with teens to help build a bridge when it comes to communicating their needs. Talk therapy is not always effective when working with teens. We integrate art therapy as a vital tool for reaching our youth.

Child Counseling Orlando involves the therapist in a more delicate dance and needs to be handled gently. Children communicate in a much different way than teens. Much of our work with children is conducted through art and play therapy. Understanding how to effectively parent, utilize positive reinforcement and address conduct disorders are all a part of working with children and helping them to develop a set of tools that will set them up for success. With the overdiagnosis of ADHD in children today, the lines are becoming blurred as to what the underlying factors may be. Child counseling Orlando helps to eliminate any behavioral problems by assisting the family in gaining the knowledge and skill set to help their child. Let your child be a kid and regain balance once and for all.

Alcohol and drugs as well as behavioral addictions (shopping, pornography, sex, gambling, etc) are used as a coping mechanism. They mask fear and pain.

Our team will work with you to get to the core issues of why you feel the need to “numb out” and avoid your feelings. Real change occurs when we stop seeking outside of self to fill what we perceive is lacking on the inside. You will be equipped with the knowledge and awareness you need to eliminate stress, cravings, triggers, depression, anxiety, trauma, etc. You will no longer feel the need to turn to drugs, alcohol or other destructive behaviors.

As we grow and expand our awareness and consciousness, we have a desire to seek out a spiritual relationship with ourselves. One that is in connection to source and alignment with our true self.

Spiritual guidance along with mental health counseling is a spiritual journey. Not only for you to connect back to yourself but to the true spiritual nature of who you are and who you have always been. Gain the self awareness of how you create heaven or hell here on earth.
