Tucson has been the place where Jill Cady has been practicing
counseling for the past 26 years. Her area of interest and training is in counseling
with children, adolescents and their families. Jill's specialty is working with children, youth, adults and their families as they try to cope with the effects of ADHD and poor self control. She also works with individuals and
families dealing with relationship challenges and transition of life issues.
Additionally, Jill is trained as a mediator and communication skills and conflict
management specialist. She is married to the love of her life and has two adult
children and an adult foster daughter. Although her children are now productive and
wonderful adults, their childhood and adolescence provided Jill with an opportunity to
grow and learn humility, humor and resourcefulness - these qualities have provided her
a great advantage as a counselor. Jill continues to find that it is a joy and
privilege to work with people, helping them to experience greater joy and freedom in
their relationships and lives.
