Therapeutic Consulting

Trying to navigate either your own needs or a loved one's needs in a mental health crisis can be daunting and overwhelming. My therapeutic consultation services are aimed at helping you fit the pieces of the mental health puzzle together, ensuring you will have a plan to address the needs of both the individual and their system of support. Treatment is not a one size fits all process; the value of consultation lies in looking at the variety of mental health interventions available, getting an accurate assessment of what the challenges are, and the best course of action to address these challenges. Ultimately, this provides you with not just a map for next steps in services and care, but also insight about creating sustainable and effective change for yourself and for those who are needing help.

After many years of working with children and families, I know that parenting a struggling child can be incredibly challenging, alienating, and at times, exhausting. I believe you are doing the best that you can under extremely difficult circumstances. Parents are often left out of the treatment process and given little information about how to be helpful to their child. My focus in parenting consultation services is in helping you to understand how to be a “therapeutic” parent to your child. I believe that because you are the “container” that your child exists in, helping your child begins with you. As their parent, you are one of the most influential factors in your child’s development. I also believe that you know your child best and you are a valuable resource of information and an asset to their treatment team. By assisting you in developing your own unique parenting skill set, understanding your own reactions in relation to your child, and helping you find empowerment in the most challenging moments, I am equipping you with the tools to improve both your relationship with your child and their mental health challenges.
