Consultations
PARENTS & CAREGIVERS
Parent consultation sessions are offered in conjunction with individual or group therapy for your child. Parent sessions are crucial to support your child’s progress, to help to identify and change unhelpful patterns at home, and for parents to learn strategies to best support their child. We work with your family's caretaking team including grandparents, nannies, au pairs, etc. to implement science-backed interventions.
Parent consultation can also be offered separately from direct services for your child. Sometimes, youth are not yet willing to engage in treatment. Still, parents may benefit from parent training to learn behavior management strategies, effective reward/consequences, patterns that maintain undesirable behaviors, limit-setting, and problem-solving.
