Child Guidance & Family Solutions

“I have been with my counselor for 4 years and initially came to CGFS after experiencing a traumatic loss; the unexpected death of my mother. I did not know how to handle my emotions; I was angry, depressed, anxious and grieving. Throughout  counseling , I have processed my grief and learned coping skills to manage my emotions. I am now able to celebrate my mom’s life, and when I am having a difficult time, I focus on the positive memories and allow myself to grieve in a healthy manner.”

“Before coming into  intensive home–based services , I had been in residential treatment for my behavior and I didn’t want to be alive anymore; I was having suicidal thoughts. Throughout my time in IHBT, I learned how to deal with my feelings, and interact with my parents, without getting in a screaming match and wanting to hurt myself. Now I don’t even have to be in counseling anymore, and I can go back to school every day with my friends, using the skills I learned in counseling. It was cool that my counselor could come see me at home and at school to teach me these skills.”

“I started counseling when I was removed from my home and placed in a foster home. I was sad and angry at the world! I didn’t want to deal with my feelings or talk to anyone, but they forced me to come to counseling every single week. Finally, I realized that my counselor was actually making me talk about my feelings in a really cool way, and I felt safe. Once I started to trust my counselor, I was able to open up and tell them about my trauma and stress, and it helped me feel better!”
