ELMHURST, ILLINOIS, April 11, 2016, Catherine A.Z. Gruener, Founder and Owner of Gruener Consulting, LLC, has been recognized by Worldwide Branding for showing dedication, leadership, and excellence in professional counseling and parent education.
Ms. Gruener believes that the parent-child relationship is one of the most influential relationships in a person’s lifetime. Not only is a child shaped and influenced by the way the adults in their lives parent, patterns of parenting cycle throughout generations, and parents themselves are impacted by the experience of parenting. When children feel significant and as though they belong, they behave better. When parents feel more confident in their parenting, children do better. Problems arise when negative patterns of parenting continue through generations and/or when people are “Parenting in Reaction.”

She offers parent education through group and individual classes, online, in person at her private practice office in Oak Brook, and through corporate hosted events. She also provides parent counseling as an adjunct service for child and adolescent mental health professionals, offering 8 week skill based or experiential based trainings that supplement individual and group counseling. As the owner of the Google Plus Parenting, Positive Parenting & More Community, she offers positive parenting advice and provides over 4,000 parents and educators with a place to share their stories and methods of positive parenting with others.
Ms. Gruener is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and certified Positive Disicpline Educator.
