My Expert Service
|
|
I work with parents, teenagers, couples and others on issues ranging from simple communication to dealing with addictions, family therapy, parent coaching and dealing with residential treatment, teen programs or boarding schools. I have considerable experience working with teenage youth, chronically mentally ill and people with addictions. Many parents send their kids off to a program or boarding school and spend thousands to accomplish what could be handled right here, right now. Whatever the challenge, lets find the solution together now!!!
