Our approach to parent training is easy to define: Parents are the key agents of change in their child’s life! We will work with you to give you the needed skills to help promote your child’s optimal development. Depending on what issues we are treating, we will spend different amounts of time working individually with your child. However, in all of our treatments, regardless of age or presenting problems, we will spend a considerable amount of time with you as parents to train you how to continue to promote the generalization of the gains to home, school, and community settings and to promote the maintenance of these gains after treatment.
The heart and soul of this treatment approach is teaching the parents how to be their child’s best behavior therapist. We systematically teach parents a well-defined set of behavioral Do’s and Don’ts, so they become the experts helping their child learn to change behaviors.
Treatment options for Parent Training.
Treatment is always customized to your child’s developmental stage and your family’s unique situation. We work with you to decide on the best option. Here are some of the ways we work with parents to do parent training.
Parent Training for Anxious Youth Parents are key in helping their anxious children. We work with parents to create developmentally sensitive goals, that are progressively more challenging goals to eliminate and manage fears, known as exposure hierarchies, and coach parents in reducing the amount and extent of unwanted, interfering accommodations. Research shows that when parents change their behaviors, childrens anxious behaviors improve significantly.
Internet & Telehealth Services We have secure telehealth video-based sessions available as a treatment option.
