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. 
GROUP THERAPY
We offer several groups, including:
- 
Talking to Your Child About Their New Diagnosis - 
A brief, 3-session group geared toward learning different strategies of how to talk to your child about their evaluation results and diagnosis. 
 
- 
- 
Anxiety 101 for Teens - 
A 6-session group for teens to learn how to identify their anxiety and worry before it escalates, as well as learn new strategies to help them feel more regulated.
