Summit Counseling is currently seeking a parenting expert. This is a contracted position and would be on an as needed basis.
A percentage of our clients are referred to us by guardians ad litem, client lawyers and District Attorneys. Some of these referred clients have issues related to parenting. These include suspected verbal and physical abuse, typically associated with less skillful parents. These parents will be current clients in therapy.
