About

Dr. Stoltzfus’s mission is to provide parents of young adults with counseling, information, education, guidance, and resources. More today than ever, parents want to support their young adults in meeting the challenges of identity, independence, and intimacy. Dr. Stoltzfus works with the parents to help them launch their young adults with love and backbone. For more than thirty-five years, Dr. Stoltzfus has worked with parents and their young adults within the context of a chemical dependency treatment program, an inpatient mental health facility, a Child Guidance Clinic, a youth service agency, and a private practice. Originally Dr. Stoltzfus was trained as a marriage and family therapist working with parents and adolescent children. Now his practice is focused on parents and young adults — millennials (born between 1980 and 2000) and the next generation of soon-to-be young adults (born after 2000). He will work with these families, the parents, and the young adult depending on what constitutes the best approach and the receptivity of the parties. Dr. Jack Stoltzfus is a Licensed Psychologist, practicing in Shoreview, Minnesota. He has two master's degrees and a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1980. His research and dissertation focused on defining and measuring the healthy emotional separation of adolescents from their parents.
