Mitzi NayThe Parenting War
It is a never ending war over who has the right plan and method to parent the children. Each parent is sincerely confident that the other is wrong and must be stopped or the children will be ruined. Need some help? We're here to assist. 
When Sex Was Good
When sex was good, it was very good but now it is ho hum at best and infrequent at most. What happened to that passionate spark? When passion is high, making love is easy. It is learning to stir passion that enables love making to be consistent and rewarding. What a man and woman do not understand about the other causes love making to fall short of expectations and disappointment in the relationship. Help is available.
Is Counseling Worth the Cost?
Life is expensive and built or destroyed by the choices made. Priorities are revealed by noting where money is spent. These choices either increase or decrease the quality of life. Choices are usually made between two desirable things. To choose one is to sacrifice the other. Often one brings immediate satisfaction and the other requires delayed gratification.
When individual and/or relationship health needs professional intervention, other desires should be sacrificed until mental and relationship health is restored. When counseling is denied or delayed, the loss in the quality of the relationships may deteriorate beyond repair.
When Marriage Needs a Mulligan
It started out so well. From the time their paths crossed, they were drawn together with a force they did not want to resist. Now the spaces between their togetherness have widened and passion has been replaced by a sense of ought and obligation. The conviction that the marriage was a mistake is no longer framed as a question, yet the implication is unthinkable.
Why is Marriage So Difficult?
Marriage and long-term relationships are exacting. They require hard work and great effort to do well. They start out with such promise and become so disappointing. If this describes your relationship or your marriage, get help now to bring back the passion and joy which brought you together.
Is Social Media Hurting Your Intimate Relationship?
The growing concern about social media is well founded. Divorces resulting from Facebook and other social networking sites are real issues. If you and/or your mate are struggling with this issue, we are here to help.
Dancing on Ice
Smoothing Out the Rough Places...
The most beautiful and descriptive picture of marriage is a world class ice-dancing couple. To achieve success, each must first become competent as an ice-dancer in individual competition. The self-mastery required to become a competent solo dancer equips each to master the intricate skills required to dance with a partner.
Listen to be Heard
Words are powerful. Once spoken cannot be taken back. Argument is a war in which everyone loses. No minds are changed and relationships are injured and may be lost. If this describes how communication is delivered in your marriage and family, we want to help. Give us a call.
If It Is Unsafe to Tell You No...
I Cannot Tell You Yes
Does your mate make it unsafe for you to say No? Are you afraid to assert yourself and say what you think and feel, or do you go along in order to avoid your mate's anger and verbal assault? Help is available. Give us a call.
Our experienced counseling staff is recognized by many physicians, school counselors, pastors, and other professionals in the community for quality service.
EVENING APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE AS LATE AS 8:15 p.m.

Maintaining Your Balance in Uncertain Times
Life is uncertain and hard. Yet, life at its most difficult is liberating and good. Each of us stands alone facing the task of navigating the blustering winds and the swirling currents of life around us. At times, we need the counsel and guidance of others. We are here to assist you.
Rules of Life's Road
Rule 1: Choose to accept what you cannot change by changing how you think about it.
- To accept does not mean to stop caring, but to cease trying to change someone else.
- To accept is not to cut yourself off, but the realization that different is not bad.
- To accept is not attempts to control, but the acceptance that the outcome is not in your hands.
- To accept is not to blame others, but to make the most of yourself.
- To accept is not to take care of, but to care about.
- To accept is not to fix and make right, but to be present and supportive.
- To accept is not to judge, but to allow another to be an imperfect being.
- To accept is not arranging the outcomes, but to allow others to create their own future.
- To accept is not to abandon, but to allow another to face reality.
- To accept is not to deny, but rather not to intervene.
- To accept is not to rationalize and explain, but to admit and correct your shortcomings.
- To accept is not to worry about the future, but to take each day as it comes and cherish yourself in it.
- To accept is not to criticize others, but to be the person you are meant to be.
- To accept is to fear less and to love more.
Rule 2: Forgiveness is choosing not to remember the wrong or hurt against your mate.
Forgiveness is a contract made with yourself not to charge the offender with the offence from that point forward. Second, forgiveness is a commitment made to yourself to live in the relationship with the offender from that point forward just-as-if-they had never done the offence against you. Third, when you think of the offence, forgiveness reminds you that the offender is not guilty anymore and the thought is put out of your mind. Fourth, forgiveness is not something that you feel or necessarily want to give. It is a commitment which you carry out faithfully regardless of how you feel or what you want.
Parenting: No Simple Task
It never stops. Parenting evolves from one life cycle task into the next. No two children are alike except wanting to be in charge and independent until they need something, which is constant. It is hard to remember what life was like before and can't be imagined without them. What worked for one and is like magic on the neighbor's child has no impact on another. One moment feels like victory the next like abject defeat. It isn't easy and it doesn't let up. If you are struggling with the demands of parenting, there is help. Give us a call.
