Hi, I’m Shelle Barnes

Too often, those with the intention to help tend to look for the problem, the cause. In almost every case, they all come up with the same responses. They blame parenting and assume lack of discipline; they assume the kids are being manipulative or are outright lying. They assume there must be something that needs to be fixed.

Well, what if it has nothing to do with parenting? What if the kids aren’t broken? What if they’re telling the truth? Assumptions aren’t solutions. Maybe they’re just stuck and aren’t sure what to do next. Everyone, especially teens and young adults, needs to be heard and understood. And as they navigate through this time in their lives, directional shifts need to be recognized and supported.
