CHILD PSYCHOTHERAPY PHILOSOPHY

•We do our homework!  Prior to seeing a child we collect data from a variety of sources.  History, records, and questionnaires are reviewed.

•Call and talk to us about our years of experience, orientation of treatment and personal background before we see your child. 

•Child centered.  Even young children know what problems they are experiencing.  If asked the right way, they often know why. 

•Parent focused.  We often serve as consultants to parents to help them help their children.  After all, parents know their children best and spend the most time with them. 

•We utilize our knowledge of brain-behavior relationships to understand why difficulties are occurring and how to remediate them. 

•We welcome the opportunity to talk to educators, attend conferences, or even observe children outside the office (school or home).
