Chuck Britt holds an M.A. in Counseling Psychology and is a Licensed Marriage Family and Child Therapist.

Chuck usually sees children and young adults along with their parents. When parenting skills are the focus, he teaches non-manipulative, choice-based parenting skills that clarify roles in the family, increase parental authority while fully respecting the free will of the children and nurturing full development in both the children and their parents.

MORE ABOUT US

Skagit Family Study Center has existed since Chuck moved into Frances' rental house across the streat from the Chuck Wagon hamburger place on Riverside in Mount Vernon in 1990. Chuck got his business license and started seeing clients soon after moving in. Other local therapists also used the space by the hour.

Chuck moved to an office space above Paciioni's Restaurant on First Street in Mount Vernon in 1993. In 1997 Chuck moved his offices into the house located on the property now occupied by the new train station in downtown Mount Vernon.

And in 1998 Chuck and Connie decided to marry. They married early in 1999 and moved their combined practices into the present location at 11th and Broad near the Hopital in Mount Vernon.

Connie and Chuck have been doing parenting groups since the early 90's and have maintained the Mount Vernon group since 1998.
