PROTECT
YOUR MARRIAGE

Blair Counseling and Mediation works to provide tools that can be used to save relationships.

PROTECT
YOUR CHILDREN

Kids are deeply affected by adult or child depression, anxiety, behavior problems, conflict, and divorce.

REBUILD RELATIONSHIPS

Even if a marriage ends, family does not. It is time to strengthen parenting, co-parenting and spiritual relationships.

Welcome to

Blair Counseling and Mediation

OUR APP

Developed by a marriage and family therapist to strengthen relationships!

OUR VALUES 

We like, value and care for our clients. We want to communicate understanding and compassion. We need to work on your goals, not ours. Most importantly, we must get feedback regarding the client’s experience of the alliance and progress.

According to the most thorough reviews of the empirical literature, the most reliable predictor of successful counseling is not technique or the counselor; it is the quality of alliance between client and counselor. Better alliances result in better outcomes when working with individuals, couples and families, children and adolescents, and mandated/involuntary clients.

We also like to use humor where appropriate. Researchers in the healthcare field have also established connections between humor and physical and mental health. Humor changes brain chemistry. It increases antibodies and blood flow and decreases stress hormones and inflammation. Humor is also about creating an optimal climate for maximizing the benefit of treatment. It boosts memory and creativity, helps release fears, anger and stress and supports acceptance of mistakes and situations out of our control.
