Welcome

Families by Design is a comprehensive therapeutic center which was created to serve and support all aspects of today’s family. Our mission is to have each person realize their unique gifts and create their own connected family team.

Our group of professional therapists have combined their specialized skills and trainings to design a plan that is unique to each family, based on their needs. Through our therapeutic services, along with our experiential trainings, each family member will discover how their thinking, feelings, and actions impact all results in their lives, including the family.

A Message from the Founder and President

The world we live in is changing rapidly, and the formula for raising well rounded, successful children is growing ever more complex. Our lives are constantly bombarded with outside stressors that steer our focus from creating connected, intimate, joyful families. It’s a BIG JOB and most people are going day to day just hoping that they are doing it right!

Being a parent is the most important job you will ever have. Our world needs dedicated, responsible parents who act as role models for their children: commitment, leadership, openness to learning, and vulnerability. Families by Design is committed to providing parents with outstanding opportunities for personal growth, parenting skills, and child development. Through leadership programs, personal development, and coaching programs, our community is already being transformed.

Families by Design will give parents and children the tools to guide them on a path to become as connected, successful, and joyful as possible. It is with this intention in mind, that we contribute to creating a world where people live purposefully and intentionally, creating their relationships and life goals upon a rock-solid family foundation.

We look forward to serving you and your loved ones.

Dr. Laurie M Emery
Founder and President
