Modalities
Individual
The first part of treatment entails identifying treatment goals together. That way we have a clear focus in our sessions. Next, we will work together to identify your thoughts, feelings and actions and overall patterns that may be contributing to your current mood. Once we’ve identified those parts, when will then go over coping skills to help you manage your life in a more effective manner.
Parenting
During parent sessions, I typically discuss different behavioral strategies and coping skills, that will help you parent your child. If your child is in individual treatment, the sessions will focus on how you can help your child implement the tools he or she has learned in session at home and school. I often work with schools to help the staff apply different strategies to help generalize treatment.
Intensive Treatment
Intensive treatment is offered for those individuals who may require more than the traditional once a week 45 minute session. The additional time may be used to engage in exposures or as a way to expedite learning coping skills.
