Further Specialties:

Circle of Security Parenting

A relationship-based parenting program that may also benefit child-care providers. COS reveals the path to secure attachments. Parents employ new insight and awareness in order to respond to children’s needs and behaviors in effective, healthy way.

Neurosequential Model Therapy

A developmentally-informed, biologically respectful approach to working with at-risk children. The goal of this approach is to structure assessment of the child, the articulation of primary problems, identification of key strengths, and the application of interventions in a way that will help family, educators, and therapist best meet the needs of the child.

Foster Care and Adoption

Research shows that children with traumatic experiences of abuse, neglect and abandonment and challenging behavioral and emotional responses are at greater risk of presenting with adjustment problems within their adoptive families. These children’s emotional issues are often complex, and adoptive parents often identify these issues as the primary contributors to family stressors post-adoption. Access to adoption-competent mental health services is a critical factor in the outcomes for these children and their adoptive families and the success of their adoptions. Our therapists are knowledgeable about the effective of pre-adoption experiences on children’s intellectual and social functioning, children’s ability to form attachments to their adoptive families, and children’s overall development in light of early abuse and neglect and foster care placements.
