Laurie Freeman, LMFT (http://www.lauriebfreeman.com) is a licensed family therapist with a practice on the northside of Indianapolis, IN. She specializes in family and play therapy but also has extensive experience with couples and individual clients. Training includes a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from the Christian Theological Seminary Training Center in Indianapolis. Laurie has also received additional training in play therapy and participates in ongoing play therapy supervision. She has worked for 5 years at the CTS Counseling Center Clinic in addition to her more recent private practice. Other counseling experience includes 2 years of volunteer work as a Guardian Ad Litem for Child Advocates in Indianapolis. Laurie is a clinical member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapist and is a member of the Association for Play Therapy. She has also volunteered for several community events including a panel on guilt for the Greater Indianapolis Jewish Federation and a parenting panel for Hadassah. Counseling is a second career for Laurie. Prior to this training she has worked in sales and sales management for Prentice Hall College and Macmillan Computer publishing. This earlier career provided much life experience to add to her formalized training. Personally, Laurie is married and the mother of two teenaged children which additionally provides a wealth of practical experience. Laurie publishes a quarterly newsletter which may be accessed on this site and can provide information on areas of specialization as well as provide a sense of Laurie's style and counseling orientation. The rules do change a bit with a teenager but the basics remain the same. For some insight in dealing with the surliness of the teenager along with some humor, read: Get Out of My Life, but first could you drive me and Cheryl to the mall? By Anthony E.Wolf, PhD. It provides an overview of adolescent behavior, which normalizes it and frames it in the realm of developmental tasks. It also does a nice job of identifying the hooks that teenagers consciously and unconsciously use to bait parents. It reminds parents of what they can and cannot control in their teens lives. When I first read this book, I thought the examples were extreme but as my own child grew into the teen years, they became more realistic. marriage and family therapy, individual consultation and coaching, pastoral psychotherapy, certified imago relationship therapist Life Coaching Share Your Opinion.
