THERAPY AND SUPPORT

POST-EVALUATION SUPPORT
  • Post-evaluation support is geared toward teens and adults who recently completed an evaluation as well as their parents.
     

  • This includes short term support (around 1 to 6 sessions) for parents who need some additional help in implementing the recommendations that were informed by the evaluation process or for teens & adults to explore their neurodiversity.
     

  • Additionally, parents may choose to learn evidence-based strategies to target 1 to 2 goals for their child.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
  • We offer individual therapy for kids, teens, and young adults (ages 12 through adulthood).

 

  • For children, this is a collaborative process that frequently involves both the youth and their parents.

 

  • We use evidence-based treatments to target identified goals, primarily using strengths-based CBT (cognitive-behavioral) therapeutic strategies.
     

  • We also utilize other related and evidence-based interventions, such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to target anxiety- and OCD-related behaviors and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

PARENT COACHING
  • Parenting neurodiverse children often requires a new and advanced parenting skillset.
     

  • Parent coaching involves parent-only sessions used to improve overall parenting strategies for neurodivergent children.
     

  • During these sessions, you and your provider will help identify specific parent and child goals to improve over 12 to 16 sessions.
