Wayne Arner
Counselor, CMHC
Verified
One of the most challenging and stressful things we face in life are the emotional and behavioral problems of our
children
. These difficulties impact not only the success of the
child
but the overall happiness within our home, our marital relationships and life itself can become wearisome and unmanageable. We may begin to wonder if there is “hope” for improvement or even may feel like “what’s wrong with us.” In the effort to find relief or comfort, we may find ourselves drawn to self-defeating and even destructive behaviors that offer immediate yet temporary relief. There are other options. I offer just this to my clients.

Ryan C. Randall, LCSW, PC
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
16 years experience working with
children
, adolescents, and adults.
I value and celebrate individuals who come all walks of life. I believe there are strengths and perspectives to be found in the life experience we face each day. There are many pieces and parts that make us who we are; our life history, our race, gender, gender expression, age, sexual identities, abilities, religious beliefs, and spiritualities. Pieces that are apart of us, but not always in harmony. I believe as we acknowledge, explore and embrace these conflicts, we can find a new meaning to our suffering, new ways of coping, and a new perspective on life.
