Family Support Services

Family Support Services will provide you with a complete and holistic approach to your child and families well-being. This approach includes group therapy for both the parents and siblings of our patients. It also encompasses individual and family counseling.

The benefits of these services will include the following:

• A guided support system, which will allow each member of the family to talk about and explore their feelings and experiences.
• Tools needed to integrate ideas discussed, into the home environment.
• Emotional support for the family, which will include techniques on stress management, grief therapy and strength recognition.

We will focus on developing acceptance of your child’s over-all capabilities, and how to best place realistic expectations on your child’s behavior. We will discuss how to best relieve anxiety and stress associated with being a parent. We will assist you in developing appropriate methods of coping and dealing with your child’s behaviors and issues.

Family Counseling

This approach is complete and holistic and focuses on therapies to support the family as a “system”. It allows each member of the family to talk about and explore his/her feelings and experiences and provides the tools needed to integrate ideas into the home environment.

Individual Counseling

One-on-one-therapy between client and clinician. The focus of this therapy is to alleviate difficulties that an individual is experiencing.

Social Skills Group/ (Group Therapy)

This type of therapy provides the opportunity for children to learn real world skills in an environment that is nurturing, non-threatening and unconditionally accepting. The child is assigned to a specific group based on specific cognitive, emotional, social and behavioral needs.

Psychoeducational Evaluations:

A psychoeducational evaluation is required to assess the primary systems of managing information within the brain so that we can accurately determine the child’s cognitive and educational strengths and weaknesses. We work with the family, therapists and teachers to implement strategies that address the child’s specific issues and needs.
