FAMILY CONSULTATION - CRISIS

Credere believes that our current mental healthcare system victimizes those who are healthy and, due to the complexities of symptoms, excludes those who are severely hurt. Credere consciously offers individual and parental care to those exhibiting behaviors that lead to despair, specifically addressing the following symptoms and traits.

Development from ages 3 to 17 and beyond:

Age 3 and up

• Exhibits remarkable wit and a quick learning ability from a very young age, demonstrating natural leadership skills among peers.
• Displays responses that are often mature beyond their years, showing a level of insight that allows them to recognize the struggles of others that may be beyond typical understanding.
• Constantly amazed by the world around them, highly observant, and often quiet.
• Tends to excel effortlessly without formal instruction but can become frustrated after initial failures and may feel embarrassed when corrected.
• Normal developmental pace ignites frustration. 

Age 8 and up

• Normal development appears to occur, though occasional sleep issues or unusual daily control problems with peers or in familiar situations frequently arise.
• Anxiety regarding sleepovers, friends, new teachers and/or unexpected, insignificant changes in routines, yet remaining manageable.
• Easily startled, happy around some,  strangely quiet around others, displaying strong emotional responses to seemingly small affairs.

Age 14 and up

• Consistently feeling misunderstood, demonstrating continuous frustration. Too silent, dark-eyed, and easily startled. Triggers easily on small things and changes.
• Experiencing unnoticed, on-and-off depression. Regular episodes of jealousy guided by emotional turmoil, which parents cannot successfully guide or resolve

Age 17 and up

• Struggling with substance abuse. Skipping school and refusing boundaries, even though grades may still remain sufficient.
• Struggling with food, dieting, and intense body insecurities—too thin or too heavy. Often home alone or constantly away, disconnected and keeping to oneself from an early age.
• Frequently bored and disappointed.
• Struggling with self-harm and challenges in emotional regulation.
• Putting others at risk due to emotional outbursts and dissociation.
• Facing significant psychiatric challenges that may necessitate inpatient treatment.
• Lacking the ability to live independently, while dealing with a personality disorder that presents specific treatment obstacles.

Even masters of masking will experience these secondary symptoms. Ignoring underlying issues or opting for quick fixes may seem easier, but it invariably exacerbates long-term challenges, resulting in lifelong struggles. While medication and hospitalization often appear to be rapid solutions, they are frequently counterproductive. Ideally, these healing journeys should be guided by parents and caregivers for meaningful, lasting outcomes. Consequently, parents and caregivers highly benefit from professional guidance to develop the essential skills required.

• Be ready for
  • • Blood, sweat and tears.
    • Commitment to self-learning, openness and perseverance.
    • Regular expert consultations.
    • Frequent setbacks.
    • A significant personal investment, often yielding no immediate results for one, two or even three years.
    • A new view on parental authority—openness may enhance the chances of improvement by up to 70%.

• For appointments scheduled outside of regular consultation hours standard fees apply.
