Therapy & Your Family

There is no rule-book on how to raise a family.

Parenting is difficult at the best of times and in others there are issues beyond our control that leave us feeling helpless, deflated, or even inadequate.

Raising a family is the hardest job in the world and you do not have to go it alone.

Children and adolescents learning to navigate the world today experience a number of stressors and challenges and often do not have the self-knowledge or tools to effectively cope. It is not uncommon for children to have difficulty understanding their feelings or trouble channeling their emotions or energy. With therapy, young people can learn healthy ways to express themselves and how to modify their behavior to develop their full potential.

Second Stories Counseling can help you, your children, and your family meet and overcome the issues you face, whether it’s coping with challenges at school, illness, divorce, death, a move, or learning to establish house rules and boundaries. Our compassionate therapists provide the support, guidance, and tools so that everyone in your family feels more centered.
