As our society recognizes the difficult challenges that children face, disorders such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar and spectrum disorders are being more frequently diagnosed, making it ever more difficult for parents to support their families through everyday life.

At KBHC, we strive to deliver the most robust counseling services that assist children and families through the struggles that they face. It is often said that “it takes a village” when it comes to successfully raising a family, and we pride ourselves on being the “village” of support that your family requires to be happy and healthy in your connections to each other.

Our model, called Family Synergy Therapy (FST), is based upon our principle and guiding philosophy that each family member works with their own counselor. Our model was developed and extended from our founders Dr. Ray and Jean Kadkhodaian’s couples synergy model which promotes the presence of an advocate for each member of the family or relationship to create a safe environment through which to share experiences, perspectives and feelings without the risk of judgment. In addition, we use structured work involving all family members with their own therapists in order to challenge disruptive dynamics within the family and to develop better function within the family unit. We combine these techniques with a wealth of new skills integration and education to support ongoing harmony within the family.

Families that we have helped have expressed their gratitude for the positive changes that have transformed their homes into more peaceful environments with healthy communication, less conflict, more structure and boundaries that respect each member of the family. Our goal will always remain the same, and that is to help you and your family create happy, healthy and loving relationships with one another.

We pride ourselves on helping today’s families become the strongest they can be by helping each family member develop their own coping skills. Family members may struggle with their own mental health issues and behavioral issues that create difficulties in the lives of everyone in the family unit. Some ways KBHC helps families work through includes:

• Mood disorders
• Life transitions
• Self-injury
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Adhd
• Past trauma
• Bipolar disorder
