Solomon Kobes, LCSW
I started this practice based on my belief that with RESPECT, CURIOSITY, and timing, we can engage young people no matter how closed off they seem. Barriers to engagement include fear, disorganization, self-absorption, anger, hyperactivity, and more. Still all are open to enticement; all crave connection.
By treating young people with RESPECT and CURIOSITY we nurture those same values in them, and in doing so help move them toward more harmonious relationships.
