Stress, anxiety and personal concerns can make daily life challenging for you and everyone in your family. You want to have positive personal relationships but you’re struggling. Perhaps stress, anxiety, body image issues, infidelity or lack of communication are causing you to feel less and less like yourself. Through counseling we can work together to find the right balance for your life.
Children
Raising little ones can be challenging, but so much fun at the same time. Have you noticed that your child is struggling in school or at home with behavioral changes and you aren’t sure how to help them? ADHD, autism spectrum, life and family changes, and peer relationships all affect kids in different ways. Counseling can help your little one learn coping skills to improve their relationship with you, their peers and in school. All of these things can help to reduce stress for your family.
Preteens/Teens
Your teens relationship with you and your family is the most important one they have while growing up. It can be hard to watch them struggle with self-esteem, peer relationships, and the stress and anxiety that can come with growing up. Counseling can help your teen strengthen their relationship with your family, learn ways to make good choices with their peers, and help them learn to love themselves, which in turn helps them to make positive choices as they navigate the teen years.

 | The Foundation Fighting Blindness was established in 1971 by a passionate group of families driven to find treatments and cures for inherited retinal diseases that were affecting their loved ones. At that time, little was known about these blinding retinal diseases. Very little research was being done, and there were no clinical trials for potential treatments. The Foundation’s goal was clear and focused; to drive the research that would lead to preventions, treatments and cures for blinding retinal diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, Usher syndrome, Stargardt disease and Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA). Together these conditions affect more than ten million Americans and millions more throughout the world. Today, the Foundation Fighting Blindness is the world’s leading private funder of retinal disease research. That funding has been a driving force behind the progress toward cures, including the identification of more than 270 genes linked to retinal disease, and the launch of over forty clinical trials for potential treatments. On an annual basis, the Foundation Fighting Blindness funds more than ninety-three research grants. The research projects are conducted by more than ninety-six research investigators at 71 institutions, eye hospitals and universities in the United States. The Foundation funding extends internationally to laboratories in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland and Switzerland.
