Our Mission

To assist families in resolving issues and enhancing their relationships.  Families can include the traditional two parent family, single parents, intergenerational families or same sex parents. 

Why do families need assistance?

In our 21st Century world, relationships have become more complex with higher expectations for success because:

• Family life has become more stressful – two working parents, blended families, single parent homes, adolescent challenges, child safety concerns.
• Gender roles in relationships have become less defined.
• Children don’t arrive with an instruction book!
• Parenting is the only job for which there is no required education or training.
• Couples often have to balance career goals with personal goals.
• Older children moving back home and intergenerational relationships profoundly affect families.
• Research points to creating strong relationships as an essential ingredient for happiness and longevity.
• Effective communication is a foundation for relationships and is challenged by our instant message, sound byte society.

Who will benefit from Relationship Coaching?

• Families where the caregivers differ in their approach to parenting.
• Families seeking a comprehensive approach to parenting consistent with their values.
• Families with a child with special needs.
• Families experiencing sibling rivalries.
• Families making decisions about college and post high school training.
• Families meeting the demands of a child who is a gifted student, athlete or performer.
• Families stressed by the conflicting schedules of children and parents.
