Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
We want parents to know that behavioral problems are relational problems. Anytime we work with a child, we work with the parent because anything that goes from the parent to the child is way more meaningful and effective than anything that goes from us to your child, because you have the permanent relationship. While we work with the child we look at ways in which parents can strengthen their relational bonds with their child and crystalize their child's trust and respect for them.
