    “The challenges that complicate our lives also give us opportunities to grow. Clients often say our work together helped them achieve a level of inner peace, strength, and emotional freedom that enables them to live life the way they had always hoped."  - Dr. John E. Northman

Ψ

Dr. Northman is a leader in the field of solution-focused treatment for individuals, couples, and families.

   “I practiced solution-focused therapy, even before its recent popularity.  It is an effective way of helping people define themselves and their relationships by issues other than their problems in as brief a time as possible."

Ψ

Dr. Northman is an authority on child custody issues, coauthor of the American Psychological Association's Child Custody Evaluation Guidelines, a trained mediator, and a trained parent coordinator.

   "A child's best interest should take precedence.  When I was asked by the American Psychological Association to participate in creating national guidelines for psychologists who perform custody evaluations, I wanted to be sure the child's needs were held in the highest esteem -- above and beyond pressures from parents, lawyers, and other therapists."
