Parenting advice from Dr. Marshall Colt Dr. Marshall Colt offers expert parenting tips to help parents in the San Diego /La Jolla area identify what's gone wrong and learn ways to make things better.  Often, parents get "off track" as their children mature due to internal changes, external events or a combination.  Understanding how these changes and events (along with inherent emotional intelligence) affect parents and family can be a major first step forward.  Then, learning tools and skills to better communicate and understand one another, along with effective preventive measures, frequently results in a happier, healthier family.  Your family CAN improve.  Simply click San Diego parenting tips for your FREE phone consultation...no risk, no obligation.   All conversations are confidential. 

NOTE: Dr. Colt conducts brief, solution-focused therapy, which means it's not designed to go on a long time.  It's designed to find out what the issues are and then Dr. Colt and his client(s) form a team to come up with solutions to those issues as rapidly as possible.  Please read below what Dr. Colt's clients have had to say about this way of doing therapy.

Dr. Colt's clients have had this to say:

"Also, wanted to let you know that last week was very helpful.  I read the suggestions and have been implementing those and the suggestions that came out in session.  [Name]'s tone and attitude toward others was MUCH improved over the weekend and he was a real delight to be around.  We are very much appreciating your work with us and learning a lot.  So glad we have you." -- B.J.

"Thank you so much!  We really are getting along better and we both appreciate all the help and great advice that you've given us.  We'll definitely be in touch if we need help down the road.  Also, if you don't mind, I have highly recommended you to some friends so they may be calling you!" -- B.K.

"Clearly, they (your clients, D. & J.) think very highly of you and of all you have done with them." -- Psychologist

"Dear Marshall, I just wanted to drop you a line, and was motivated by your caring [9/11] email.  I'm so appreciative that you really want to be available to your clients, and I just simply thought that it was a very nice thing to do.  Although we only met once, I wanted to let you know that it was very helpful, and I'd like to have another session at some point in the future.  I was impressed at how productive it was, and I felt that even though I didn't feel like I was being particularly articulate, you seemed to really understand what I was trying to communicate.  Such a relief to me!  I will give you a call when I figure out when I can make an appointment." -- B.M.

"...was impressed at breadth and depth of experience." -- P.F.

"[Name] was adamant about not wanting to come to counseling, but now he actually loves it!" -- Anonymous

" Thanks for your help, I feel much better about myself already." -- T.C.

"I feel that it really helps me when I see you and I do not want to wait 10 days in between appointments if I do not have to." -- T.R. 

"I think we both feel that things are going very well.  You have helped us address the problem issues, and come up with solutions.  We both feel like we have gained a lot of insight to each other." -- J.B.

"Dr. Colt:  Just wanted to thank you and let you know how much yesterday's session meant to both of us.  We both left feeling fairly good about things and really look forward to seeing you in 2 weeks.  I don't know why we waited so long to do this.  Yesterday was the first time we had really been together by ourselves for a long time and on the way home, [Name] opened up with me and talked about things and neither one of us got angry with the other." -- Z.T., Kansas

"NO!  Thank you!  I feel [Name] and I are on the right track.  I am so grateful.  If we can hold the course then I think we can finally have the relationship that makes life worthwhile.  Thanks for your help.  Also thanks for your help with [Name] and [Name].  [Name] is a special soul and is raving about you." -- E.R.

"In the two years I have known Dr. Colt, a hallmark of his dealings with both clients and colleagues has been his uncompromising dedication to fairness and ethical behavior.  Dr. Colt is extremely effective at illuminating those personal and professional issues critical to his clients, and assisting them to better understand their strengths, their challenges, and how to reconcile the two.  I have personally benefited from his unselfish offers expert of assistance" -- R.F.
