Michelle Broweleit
Professional Christian Counselor, MA, LMHC
Are you struggling with parenting your children? I was blessed with four biological children, adopted five, have three step children, and foster parented hundreds. Having been through medical emergencies, custody issues, physical and mental health concerns, educational problems, troubles with the legal system, and even the death of one of my children, there probably aren't too many things left to experience. I have learned that we all make mistakes as parents, there is no perfect parent nor perfect way to parent, each situation and child is unique, children need to know and feel loved, and stability and consistency helps. Please contact me and we can discuss whether individual, couple, or family counseling will be the best choice for you.

Gifted kids have special needs. Here are some of the things that Talented and Gifted children have told us they need help with. They need to:

“...not get so stressed out about every thing.”
“...find out how to get out of doing busy-work.”
“...know what to do when I get teased for being smart.”
“...convince my mom that I don’t always have to get A+ .”
“...know how to get out of work I miss because of T & G class.”
“...deal with frustration when I already know the subject.”
“...know what to tell my parents when I bomb a test.”

Tracy L. Morris
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS LMFT
I found the concept of Family so intriguing as a youth, I decided to get a college degree in it! For me, recognizing that Family is, indeed, a concept constructed by culture and society is crucially important to how Parenting is approached. In no other realm of 'regular' human life do our hauting ghosts come out to play as fervently as when we are parenting children. I work with clients to explore and become clear on their 'ghosts' and then move forward toward the parent they also wanted to be.
