Families have different needs at different times. My strength is that I collaborate well with kids and their families. My goal is to help you all to clarify the problem, create strategies using tools to help you succeed in your goals and then offer a planned reduction in sessions based on your progress, until you feel ready to do it on your own. My specialty for over 20 years has been helping strong-willed kids and their families. That frame of reference can help make sense out of why things that should work, often don't work or do; seemingly based on some unknown variable. I believe that including the family (in some form) helps the individual, eases parenting and can generate more comfort in your home. I have several options to meet families' needs: Clinical therapy sessions-to address underlying causes, direct clinical strategies and address multiple behaviors, moods and/or belief systems Friendship Connection Coaching-classes to help your child understand and use friendship skills through the lens of Linear Thinking when they are with friends Monthly Stand Alone Classes- a stand alone class that explains common complaints I have heard from kids who really want friends and keep missing how to be a friend that others would want (ongoing list of current topics) During Fall, Spring and Summer Breaks A 3-part series of classes to bring more depth to a topic (Social Strategies, 504-Plan Parent Advocacy, Creating a Family Tech Plan, Parenting Emotional Meltdowns) A Mastery Class on Finding the Social Glitches (Creating a Unique Foundational Friendship Strategy for your child)
