Children and adolescents sometimes feel misunderstood, devalued, isolated and confused and it is not always easy for them to express their feelings or emotions. Children and adolescents are also faced with several challenges in a society in which it is difficult to maintain a sense of uniqueness and authenticity. Stressors and challenges manifest themselves in the home, at school and within peer relationships and the therapeutic process can provide a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental environment in which a child and/or adolescent can be free to be him/herself and gain tools in order to deal effectively with their stressors and challenges and equip them with healthy coping skills.

Although it’s a hard pill to swallow, I’ve found that young children often display anxiety, disobedience, and other problem-behaviors because they are absorbing chaos within the home... often because the parents haven’t dealt with their own issues. This isn’t a judgment. Parenting is tough. But if you’re looking for someone to “fix” your kid, I’m not your guy. However, if you’re open to parent coaching, and willing to work on individual healing and/or strengthening your marriage, I’m here to help. At Lion Counseling, our mission is to help you escape the cages that hold you back and become the lion God created you to be.

GRIT Kids exists to allow parents or caregivers to aid their children in the work of self-awareness—at every developmental stage— to better understand themselves and the world around them. Simple behavioral management fails to develop the internal locus of control that is necessary for developing character and self-discipline. Forming a self-identity and learning to live with purpose is a necessary life skill for children to learn in order to live into their fullest self. GRIT Kids Coaches are trained to help you do the work of raising your child with intention so you can see that little person grow into all they are capable of.
