Committed to Working and Strengthening the Family as a Whole

 Family therapy provides an opportunity for all family members to come together for mutual support and re-integration. Too often families splinter because they do not have this opportunity to devote time to working through family issues. At Seek and Find we take great pride in the in-depth relational therapy that we provide for a diverse population of clients. We foster healthy communication to create connection, safety and trust within the individuals and the family as a whole. 

Behaviors vary from one childhood stage to another, it can be difficult to tell whether a child is just going through a temporary "phase" or is suffering from depression or may be facing other serious issues. Your child may pretend to be sick, or refuse to go to school. Older children may sulk, get into trouble, be negative, grouchy and feel misunderstood. Sometimes the parents become worried about how the child’s behavior has changed or teacher mentions, "Your child doesn’t seem to be himself." At Seek and Find we do assessments, individual therapy, and run groups that cover topics such as:

• thinking before making choices
• managing anger
• making wrong choices
• dating
• coping with sorrow and loss
• communication skills
• social skills
• problem solving and much more
