Most kids move through developmental stages without major incident.  As parents, we expect and understand the "terrible twos", as well as our "moody" teens sitting in their rooms endlessly listening to their "I-Pods" while scanning their "Facebook" pages.  However, there are instances when our children, despite all our efforts, prayers and interventions, are just not "making the grade." 

When behavioral problems begin to surface, school work starts to suffer, and peer groups can change for the worse.  If, and when, this happens, we as parents are often at a loss.  Pointed questions such as "What did we do wrong?, "Why is this happening?", or "What do we do now?" begin to dominate late night discussions and the parent-child relationship.  While often elusive and complex, answers to these questions can be found when employing the services and knowledge of doctoral level, licensed professionals.

With proper assessment, behavioral issues can be diagnosed. With a defined plan, difficulties in school can be overcome.  With collaborative teamwork, and utilizing your expertise as a parent, progress can be made.  Improvement is not only possible, but probable.

Our new and innovative clinic offers Salt Lake and surrounding counties (and States) with unique, affordable, imaginative and culturally/spiritually compatible solutions to issues that we as parents are often forced to face on a daily basis. 

Take the time to read about or meet our young, diverse and talented staff of doctorally trained clinicians and consultants.  Our clinic was born out of our own frustrations as parents dealing with crowded schools, lack of support for home-school based parents, and inadequate health insurance options for our own children.

Because Your Child Is More Than A Diagnosis.......
