There are often a number of factors involved in the struggle, perhaps including trauma, anxiety, or withdrawn and/or disruptive behaviors. In counseling, we work together with parents to identify the underlying causes and create the best plan to meet the child’s needs and provide support to the whole family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c68a11c797f746cd58276f1/1551298929681-KPA4H0DLM5SEDOBL1MFY/juan-cruz-mountford-559414-unsplash.jpg Counseling - Adolescents & Families Big kids with big problems? Tension rising as the launch comes closer? We delight in helping teens heal, while also helping the whole family transition to new ways of handling the shifts of responsibilities. Communication is a key focus of this work! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c68a11c797f746cd58276f1/1551301243363-5GX038LJWHKI3N8PU4CU/daiga-ellaby-233073-unsplash.jpg Counseling - Parenting Trying to get your parenting sea legs with a new baby at home?

Through Groups, children can engage in structured and unstructured social skill building lessons, games, and activities to enhance resilience with peers, improve self-esteem, increase self-efficacy in problem-solving social situations, and most importantly- have fun in a supportive and engaging peer group! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c68a11c797f746cd58276f1/1551298828884-OH0050DRKSUWWBM2XEBI/image-asset.jpeg Counseling - Parent-Child Relationships Children are precious gifts. We love them more than anything, yet at times we can struggle to connect with them. We are here to help you discover new ways of relating, decreasing the power struggles, and opening doors for connection so you can delight in your children again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c68a11c797f746cd58276f1/1551135993663-SVU2S8NAS63H4RE1ABWR/two+children+playing+on+tire+swing.jpeg Counseling - Siblings Is it normal that siblings argue? Yes! But can they learn to resolve conflicts and also have strong bonds? Yes! If your children seem stuck in patterns of jealousy, competition, or misunderstandings, we can help them find new ways to relate well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c68a11c797f746cd58276f1/1552086633688-5TFU0VNWJZSEKYKGRPG7/andrey-trusov-15106-unsplash.jpg Counseling - Third Culture Kids & Families Feel like a fish out of water wherever you live?

However, they often do not feel “gifted.” Instead they feel isolated and easily depressed. We love helping these children celebrate their gifts while also providing them space to grieve their differences. We help families learn how to best support their process and help them find belonging in this world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c68a11c797f746cd58276f1/aacc46c2-ef41-43a6-813c-72d52c3df3cb/getty-images-nJnd0W8YUtU-unsplash.jpg Counseling - Military Families Military culture is a unique culture. Transition into military life or transition out of military life brings unique challenges to the whole familiy. We are here to provide support with these transitions and help with strengthening family relationships through the process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c68a11c797f746cd58276f1/d4d922aa-72bc-4dab-b160-c00aaeea6d56/adam-winger-7fF0iei80AQ-unsplash.jpg Counseling - Support for Teachers Teachers are a powerful force in children's lives yet when is good enough, good enough? We are here to help navigate burnout, heal from compassion fatigue and help teachers develop shields from secondary trauma. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c68a11c797f746cd58276f1/cb626989-c813-4ca2-aaef-d90b42e9d8f5/iStock-1062317300.jpg Counseling - LGBTQ Parenting In many ways LGBTQ parents face the same difficulties as every parent. Meltdowns at bedtime, picky eaters, and math homework woes. However, they can also can face many unique challenges like social stigmatization, discrimination, and a times increased bullying. Here at Flourishing Families we are excited to come along side you and work together to face whatever challenges are coming your way so nothing stops your little one from thriving. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c68a11c797f746cd58276f1/1551151374148-6K7EBQTTYO1TM0X3L9AD/jonathan-daniels-385131-unsplash.jpg Counseling - Blended Families Blended families are, by definition, a new beginning. However, the family bonds do not form the same way as in first families. The road map looks a bit different, and having someone to navigate the journey with you can take some of the confusion out of the mix. Pre-martial blended family services are available as well as counseling services. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c68a11c797f746cd58276f1/1551153021288-BB4C3DL31HE3FYVJM4IE/alberto-casetta-349138-unsplash.jpg Counseling - Adoptive Families Adoption comes with a different kind of pregnancy (often much longer than 9 months), a different kind of delivery (often heartbreakingly beautiful), and a different kind of parenting (often with some unique needs). Here at Flourishing Families, we understand your unique needs and are excited to part of your village! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c68a11c797f746cd58276f1/1551136023159-IX2NARZN1M53GR8C9D98/tregg-mathis-1204612-unsplash.jpg Counseling - Multigenerational Families Are you in the sandwich generation? Maybe you have two very different diaper sizes in your house, or you are teaching a teenager to drive while helping a parent decide when to stop driving. This can be a beautiful season yet also one filled with unique challenges. No need to do it alone! We can provide that extra support as you juggle all the needs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c68a11c797f746cd58276f1/1551298773965-W5H1AE0A1YW0EHDHFBNJ/image-asset.jpeg Counseling - Individual Adults Play Therapy for adults—it’s a thing! Are you feeling stuck with Talk Therapy? Play therapy may help you get unstuck! With the use of Play Therapy (sandtray, art, and play) and other experiential interventions like EMDR, one can move from awareness and insight to healing and freedom. We can also consider the systems you are in and what you can do to move toward health in those systems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c68a11c797f746cd58276f1/1551135351377-HIIGH1DESBTDDDAW3ZY1/drew-hays-28855-unsplash+%281%29.jpg Counseling - Expecting Couples Expecting your first? This can be a very exciting yet equally terrifying time. So many dreams, so many unknowns! We enjoy having the opportunity to help couples prepare for their little one by strengthening both the couple relationship and the relationship already forming with the baby. This is also a place to get out all those questions (even the ones that feel silly) and sift through all the random advice you are hearing and seeing on social media! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c68a11c797f746cd58276f1/1552160222692-ERXHGNVHTFBAMPZCJHLJ/artem-bali-777728-unsplash.jpg Counseling - Pre-engagement & Pre-marital couples Get off to a good start in your marriage! You have strengths—let’s notice those strengths and cultivate them! You will encounter numerous obstacles in marriage, but there are skills you can learn that will help you stay on the same team so that you can face the obstacles together. When the struggles come, you will be ready to turn them into another thing that makes you a stronger team. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c68a11c797f746cd58276f1/968763c2-9484-4bc2-a4dc-ed79b7d58603/alvin-mahmudov-RgAUYSTa0NI-unsplash.jpg Counseling - Couples We hope our partner will be our best friend. Sometimes, disconnection, conflict, misunderstandings, loneliness, and confusion set in. Sometimes, trust gets broken and the relationship feels the opposite of what you were hoping for. Here at Flourishing Families we want to help you reconnect, rebuild trust, and create space to rekindle the affection and care that you long for so you can tackle life together as a team! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c68a11c797f746cd58276f1/1551152147365-CW6FGALQ3DKMMFRPDU4S/rawpixel-1137680-unsplash.jpg Counseling - Friends & Teams Families are formed in many ways. Friends can be family, college roommates can be family, co-workers can be family. These relationships and teams are important, and some of the same techniques we use with blood relatives are helpful in these relationships too. Let us help increase communication, understanding, and connection in your unique family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c68a11c797f746cd58276f1/1559319298125-BHKO69B1VM98H3ZUOLLO/kate-92831-unsplash.jpg Counseling - Families with a Chronic Illness member When one or more members of a family have a chronic illness, it’s like the illness becomes an additional member of the family. The illness (diabetes, celiac, etc…) takes time, energy, and attention from everyone and there is grieving for everyone. This is a place where individuals and families can develop ways to grieve well and thrive with the additional member on board. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c68a11c797f746cd58276f1/1563548050522-5SEJYRBP49BRW2VXND55/ben-white-194220-unsplash.jpg Counseling - Member Care Are you in need of someone to provide you and your family with support as you support so many others? Struggling with burnout, compassion fatigue, or overwhelmed with the number of needs around you? We can help you find rest, resiliency, and balance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c68a11c797f746cd58276f1/1563548239164-F0PNMKW4G4ITGES6JN8U/alexander-dummer-aS4Duj2j7r4-unsplash.jpg Counseling - Families in the Spotlight Does your job (pastor, public figure) put you and your family in the spotlight?
