We believe that the challenges that children face are best met when the family joins in on the adventure.
 

We believe that typical approaches to addressing children's problems in therapy that require parents to give an exhaustive list of their failings often leave children and parents feeling like failures and puts them in a diminished position to meet their problems head on.
 

We believe that children have a rich store of talents and virtues that can be drawn upon to bring to bear against their problems and challenges of living.
 

We believe that when children's unique virtues are richly storied it can serve as a significant source of inspiration for all involved.
 

We believe that parents also have unique talents, virtues, and relational capacities that are often overlooked in typical problem-focused approaches to therapy.
 

We believe that children and parents should leave therapy feeling like agents in their own lives with an increased capacity to intervene on their own behalf and according to their own moral purposes for living.
