What we work on

Every plan starts with what you want to be different. These are the goals families and adults most often bring.

For young children

Fewer tantrums and power struggles. Listening and following directions. Managing big feelings. Getting along with siblings and other children.

For school-age children and teens

Worry and anxiety that get in the way. Low mood and withdrawal. Attention, organization and getting schoolwork done. Friendships and confidence. Coping after a hard or frightening experience.

For parents

Calm, consistent ways to respond to difficult behavior. A warmer, easier day-to-day relationship with your child. Supporting a child with ADHD, anxiety, learning differences or autism.

Some sessions are with parents alone. A parent session is time to talk openly about what is happening at home, learn and practice strategies, and plan next steps, without your child in the room.

For adults

Anxiety and depression. Stress, life changes and relationships. Understanding patterns that keep repeating.

How goals are set

In the first sessions we agree on a small number of clear goals. We check progress together as we go and adjust the plan when something is not working.
