Need HELP? Need Therapy? How to know…

April 17, 2023 by Cindi Ferrini

Therapy used to be a word and situation of which some people were afraid. More recently it seems many people are “in therapy” and it’s probably a really good and healthy thing. So whether it’s your marriage that is in a tough place, you’re wondering if you’re doing the right “things” to help your children, or you have a special needs family and you feel like you’re floundering; consider therapy to … [Read more...]

“THEY SEEM FINE TO ME”

October 17, 2022 by Cindi Ferrini

  “I don’t see anything wrong with that child.” Give it 10 minutes; give it an hour. Take some time to be with “that child” or for that matter, “that adult” to be able to discern what makes them different and what it is about them where they excel and where they can’t quite make it in life. So many disabilities, illnesses, and diseases are not “visible”. Children with mild … [Read more...]
