When it comes to addressing emotional or ​behavioral challenges in a child, the involvement of ​caregivers is absolutely paramount. We believe in ​the power of a team approach, where caregivers ​play a crucial role. Your impact on your child ​between therapy sessions far exceeds the ​therapist’s one-hour session. You're not expected to ​become your child's psychologist, but your input ​and insights are invaluable. Depending on the ​treatment goals, therapy approach, and age of the ​child, sessions may involve the child, parents, or ​even the entire family.

As your child transitions into adolescence and ​young adulthood, the dynamics of your relationship ​may shift. The struggle between an adolescent’s ​desire for independence and a caregiver’s need to ​guide can be a delicate balance. In therapy, it is ​important to facilitate family conversations to ​ensure everyone’s needs and expectations are ​heard, and work towards a solution that respects ​the teenager or young adult's privacy while giving ​caregivers peace of mind.

Depending on where you live, different laws apply ​regarding access to your child’s treatment records ​and the need to have child consent for ​communication. These laws and regulations will be ​reviewed with you before treatment begins,

PARENTING

Parenting is a journey full of ups and downs. From ​toddler tantrums to teenage rebellions, each phase ​shapes your child’s path to independence and poses ​unique challenges.

At times, caregivers may find that all their best efforts ​are just not successful in addressing their child’s ​needs. Explore these insightful books offering ​research-backed strategies to navigate these hurdles. ​They provide fresh perspectives and practical tools to ​restore harmony and closeness in your family life.

Additionally, individual or family therapy may be a ​valuable resource for families to feel supported, ​reduce family strain, and gain help in managing ​challenging behaviors in children and teens.

NEURODIVERGENCE--​AUtism and ADHD

When the way your child’s brain processes, stores, ​and retrieves information is unexpected or ​different, it can be both fascinating and frustrating. ​When these differences affect their ability to learn ​about and participate in the world, it can negatively ​impact their self-esteem, confidence, and ​relationships. The books listed here provide insight ​and strategies for children, adults, caregivers, and ​teachers who want to understand and develop ​strategies for responding to differences in ​executive functioning, learning, sensory processing, ​or communication.
