About Eightfold Counseling

Founded in 2018, Eightfold Counseling was established to work with children and families who are looking for a different approach to individual and family counseling. We believe all children have the ability to discover and realize their potential and all homes can be peaceful places to grow that potential. Changing behaviors alone can be a short-term fix for a long-term concern. By helping kids and families get curious about their core beliefs, values, structures, habits and world-view, we can connect and grow a positive foundation on which the whole family can establish healthy and productive beliefs and behaviors.
