How do we treat anxiety?
Assessment
Through the intake assessment and by using questionnaires, we will identify the anxiety disorder(s) affecting your child so that we know how to treat it
Identify goals for therapy
You and your child will identify goals for therapy by explaining how you want things to look by the time your child is done with therapy
Educate clients and parents/caregivers
I teach kids and their parents about the anxiety disorder affecting their child, how anxiety impacts the brain and their child, and what they can do in moments of anxiety
Parent coaching
I provide parents with tools and support so that they know how to respond to their child when they are feeling anxious
Individual therapy for kids and teens
We discuss their triggers for anxiety, ways they currently respond to the anxiety, identify new strategies to reduce how often the anxiety occurs and reduce the intensity when it happens
