Blended families
Making your blended family work can be difficult. Do you need help to balance the demands of a new spouse, new stepchildren, and your own kids? Do the adults involved have difficulty setting consistent rules for parenting? Are your children and stepchildren resisting and acting out. At Assured Peaceful Solutions, our therapists can help your blended family function better.
Parenting a child with ADHD

My son doesn’t listen! What can I do?
Does your teenager just constantly defy you? A struggling teenager may express his distress by acting defiant, constantly arguing with parents, or participating in risky behaviors.
Teenagers feel so much internal turmoil and lack of control. They need structure and they need to know that they can rely on you. In therapy, you can get help setting boundaries.
Counseling for your teen can help him rebuild family relationships and improve their self-esteem.
Addicted to video games
Is your child, or spouse, so involved in video games that he is losing interest in other activities? Is gaming interfering with school, work, family, or friends? Gaming becomes a problem when it interferes with daily life. In therapy, we will help your child or space get back to success at school, work, extracurricular activities, and friendships. Reach out to us here at APS Counseling to learn more about therapy in person and online.
