Recently John W. Houghtaling opened his home for charity, again.  “The Culture Arts Association (CAA) of Walton County does a tour of what they call ‘residential gems’,” explains John W. Houghtaling.  “I am always glad to support good causes, as we often do at the firm, and this cause is great one,” adds John W. Houghtaling.  Those interested purchased tickets for a self-tour of several residential addresses, continues John W. Houghtaling.  John W. Houghtaling is managing partner of Gauthier, Houghtaling and Williams.

“The ticket sales contribute to the provision of $20,000 annually from the CAA in educational giving,” notes John W. Houghtaling.  The CAA giving comes in the form of grants to teachers and need-based college scholarships for students, according to John W. Houghtaling.  “I’m glad to be part, to open my home for such a worthwhile cause,” says John W. Houghtaling. [Read more…]

In the spirit of National Children’s Dental Health Month, the Snodgrass-King Pediatric Dental Associates offers an idea for a healthy snack that also makes a great afternoon craft.

Thaddeus Heffner, MMFT Discusses Reparative Therapy and the Ethical Right to Self-Determine

March 2, 2011 By Leave a Comment

When it comes to mental health, Thaddeus Heffner, MMFT agrees that the “right to self-determination is a keystone ethic.” Autonomy refers to the promotion of self-determination, or the freedom of clients to choose their own direction.  Respect for autonomy, notes Thaddeus Heffner, entails acknowledging the right of another to choose and act in accordance with his or her wishes, and the professional behaves in a way that enables this right of another person.” (Issues and Ethics in the Helping Professions, Corey, Corey & Callanan, pg17)

Thaddeus Heffner explains that reparative therapy is a therapeutic approach to help those who desire to move away from homosexuality and toward gender wholeness.  While there are those who work in Mental Health that might not agree with a reparative approach, Thaddeus Heffner is in the business of supporting clients who self-determine to diminish their struggle with SSA, embracing a reparative approach.

Dr. David Snodgrass DDS

For various reasons, says pediatric dentist Dr. David Snodgrass DDS, the time comes in some children’s lives when they need fillings. According to Dr. David Snodgrass DDS, this can happen because of neglected teeth, not flossing, or maintaining sugary eating habits. Of course, the treatment of cavities and tooth decay are a common service provided by Dr. David Snodgrass DDS and the pediatric dentist at Snodgrass-King. But for children who have never needed a filling before, acknowledges Dr. David Snodgrass DDS, the experience can be quite unfamiliar and tense.

According to Dr. David Snodgrass DDS, there are a number of things that parents can do to prepare their child for a filling.
