Robert and his wife, Stacy, were extremely concerned about their daughter, Amanda. Her anxious behavior and temper-driven outbursts were having an effect on their family life. She had reached the point where she no longer cared about the consequences of her actions. When they would try to discuss things with her or discipline her, she would just shut down emotionally or explode with rage. There was no in-between for her. What scared them the most about their daughter was that she was only 8 years old. What would the future hold for her or for the family when she hits her teens? (more…)

Where Are They Now?
It was 1988 when Jason and Amy found themselves in a dilemma. Jason had just graduated from high school and Amy was excited to begin her senior year. They were young and in love when they discovered Amy was expecting.
“Since we were both raised in solid Christian homes, it threw our parents for a loop. Honestly, it threw us for a loop too.” Amy remembered. “I couldn’t believe that this was happening to us. Jason offered to marry me, but I didn’t want to get married just because I was pregnant. I didn’t know what to do, but I believed that I wasn’t ready to have a baby.” (more…)

“We are leaving and we will not be back!” This was the angry comment from Sophia and her mom during the first counseling session. They had just been reminded that abuse of a minor child has to be reported, by law. Both Sophia and her mom became vehemently protective of the abuser.

Helping Families Cope
At the end of last year, there was an article in USA Today stating that requests for counseling were at an all time high.

People are looking for more than counseling. They are looking for answers. The Sheridan House Counseling Center has never been more positioned to help families than now. Staffed with eleven counselors, therapists and psychologists, Sheridan House is ready to help at a fee affordable for anyone who seeks help. God has positioned this ministry for such a time as this.
