Child Therapy
For parents who have done all they know to do and still find their child (age 3-10) stuck in anger, depression, anxiety, stress, or grief.
“You don’t know what you don’t know.” And that is ok. We are here to guide you in this process and share our knowledge and resources to help your child find joy and connection again.
Connected Counseling operates through a Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) lens
This means that we seek to see your child’s need behind his/her behavior. This is different for each child, which may be why your parenting approach that worked with one child, is not working with another. It is our job to help you identify this need and give you and your child the tools to meet these needs in a healthy way. It is our job to help your child feel connected, empowered, and corrected, which is what every child needs to grow and flourish.
Connected Counseling believes that a child’s issues cannot be separated from the family. Therefore, it is required for parents to be active participation in the counseling process.
Based on the therapist’s recommendations, you may be asked to participate in sessions with your child or to have consistent sessions with the therapist. Parents, the child, and the therapist are on a team, working towards the same goal.
What you can expect
The first session will be 60-90 minutes long and will be with parents only. This gives the therapist and parents the opportunity to speak openly about any concerns without the child hearing. This also gives the therapist background information before starting the assessment portion of treatment. At the end of this first session, your therapist will give you a recommendation on the next steps for treatment.
Typically, the next step is having 3-5 sessions with your child to assess the need behind the behaviors. Once the therapist believes she has identified this, there will be another parent meeting to discuss these results and create a plan for how to help your child get his/her need met in a healthy way.
