Parental Support
When working with children, the most crucial piece of my work is typically parent involvement. I check in with parents at the beginning and/or end of each session. This allows me to make parents aware of what we are doing in session, as well as provide the parent with skills and strategies to implement at home. Parents spend A LOT more time with their child than I do, therefore it only makes sense to have them involved each and every step of the way in a way that feels good with the child as well.
Treatment modalities
I have a fun spirit about me that works well with this age group. My hope is to create a space for children to help them navigate big emotions and learn to track what their body and mind tells them in those moments. This will allow them to learn to be the driver seat. I take a behavioral approach to learn skills to manage but also like to work from the bottom up to learn to tolerate those unwanted sensations that come with big emotions. I provide strategies from the following treatment modalities:
- DBT
- CBT
- Somatic Experiencing
- Family Therapy
