Dr. David Ransen
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT, CHt
Parents with challenging kids generally have no need of conventional therapy. Instead, they need only to better understand that kids think, feel, and behave very differently from adults. In a very short time, parents who learn how best to encourage good behavior and discourage bad behavior see remarkable and lasting changes in their kids' behavior. One simple lesson is among the most powerful: Praise, gratitude and reward for good behavior work wonders, but punishment is neither needed nor helpful. Kids learn just two lessons from punishment. First, they learn to be angry and resentful of whomever punished them. Second, they learn to be more and more clever and sneaky, so that they can continue misbehaving without getting caught. Parents who learn these simple effects of reward and punishment see almost immediate positive changes in their kids' behavior. These changes make kids happier, and dramatically lower the risks of drug use, teen pregnancy, poor grades, and early-morning calls from kids in jail.

Dr. Brian Weir
Psychologist, PsyD
Each kid is so different. What works for one, may be a fraughtful approach with another. I can help you to understand your child (or adult child) better, and find better ways to work with and relate to them. When we run out of ideas, we often try to accomplish things with power. This likely ends in a power struggle characterized by defiance and escalation only to expose that we don't have that much power after all. There are better ways to communicate. Our models of parenting are often outdated and what we learned may actually make things more difficult. I will help you to identify what works best for you child and support you and your needs in the process.
