CARE NAVIGATION FOR CHILD AND FAMILY
Parenting is not intuitive and often challenging to know what is normal child/teen behavior and when to intervene. I take the guess work out of it for you. I will help you gain insight and clarity into your family and provide you with a clear plan and next steps.
In addition to typical therapy services I offer care navigation for parents:
We often look at our children and think is this normal? What should I be doing or not doing to support them? Who should give us this support? I am here to help you navigate these questions. I provide an initial 3-4 session model for care navigation and better understanding your child’s needs and the best resources for your family.
FIRST SESSION
Intake: Parent only session to share background information, family history and developmental and behavioral information/concerns about your child.
SECOND SESSION
Observation: If appropriate I will do an observation of your child at home/school to get the best understanding of what they are like in their natural environment.
and/or
Observation session with family/child in my office to best understand family dynamics and to assess behavior and development.
THIRD SESSION
Assessments: Parents, teachers and child will complete assessments on areas of concern.
FOURTH SESSION
Feedback: Strength focused feedback session that will provide clarity and insight into your family/child and will set you up on the path with next steps: referrals, recommendations and parenting strategies needed for parenting your unique child.
