Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy / Individual Therapy

In cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) individuals learn a set of skills to help them better handle situations caused by unhelpful thoughts and feelings (e.g., anxiety, anger, or depression). CBT may require support from caregivers in how to practice newly learned skills outside of session. We are available to address topic such as bullying, sexuality, peer pressure, applying to/being in college, finding a job, independence, and family conflict. We work with many parents who have children with special needs to address grieving or to offer support in how to best support their child’s development. We also address stressors related to marriage and work, among other issues.

Consultation

Many parents seek our help soon after obtaining a diagnosis—we are here to help walk you through the next steps and make things as smooth as possible. We will meet with you and your child, and review any previous reports. We will then help you set goals for treatment and offer recommendations regarding what type of specific intervention strategies may be best suited for your child and family. Because we work closely with many ABA, speech, and occupational therapists, we can help direct you to the provider(s) who is the best match for your child based on intervention priorities and any insurance needs. We meet with many families on a regular basis to offer assistance in tracking progress and modifying intervention strategies as appropriate.
