Children

ADHD

We assist children who are distractible, impulsive, disorganized, or academically challenged by providing comprehensive evaluation and treatment. Treatment options include individual counseling/psychotherapy, referral for medication, parenting support/education, IEP advocacy, social skills training, hypnosis and biofeedback.

Learning Disabilities

Children having difficulty in school are provided detailed recommendations to achieve their potential. Services include remediation, compensatory training, tutorial assistance, and consultation with school personnel. Services provided include provisions to remediate or compensate for weakness, tutorial assistance, and consultation with school personnel.

Depression

Sadness, irritability or acting out in a defiant manner can be a serious problem for children and teens. Depression may result in academic failure, social isolation or noncompliant behavior. Counseling/therapy with the child or teen is often successful, and will be determined by the individual needs of each child.
.

Anxiety

Anxiety can appear in a child or teen as frequent nervousness, distraction, irritability, or engaging in repetitive tic-like behaviors. Anxiety can interfere with a child’s academic and social life. Anxiety can often be controlled by teaching adaptive skills, relaxation, or biofeedback. Psychotherapy may also be recommended.

Discipline/Acting Out

Oppositional or defiant behavior may occur for various reasons. Often a personally designed behavioral plan reinforcing positive behavior is all that is needed. Occasionally individual psychotherapy is recommended.

Autism/Asperger's Disorder

Children with difficulty communicating or interacting with others, adapting to new situations, or who are preoccupied by singular activities (such as video games) may require individual training/therapy, social skills group therapy, parent education or school advocacy.
.

Traumatic Brain Injury

Head trauma can lead to many physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral problems. These problems may include concentration difficulties, decreased motivation, language difficulties, depression, anxiety, and aggressive behavior. Following a comprehensive evaluation, treatment recommendations will be offered (e.g. neurocognitive training, individual/group/family therapy, behavioral modification, school consultation/advocacy, etc.)

Social Skills Training

Using observational learning, reinforcement, and rehearsal in a group setting, we offer groups for children and teens. In group, children and teens can learn, practice, and refine social skills while sharing problems encountered at school, home, and in their daily activities.
