Practice

Evaluation and treatment planning is a holistic problem-solving approach that takes into account psychology and physiology.  When starting with someone new, we usually begin with an evaluation to understand the problems we are trying to solve, leading to a treatment plan that outlines what we can do to help.  Clients are always asked to develop and clarify their goals. Treatment is a collaborative effort to help meet those goals.

Book

  “Kids always provoke parents by doing the very thing that irritates, infuriates, and undoes them.  In normal families, this is an everyday, though annoying occurrence, but in troubled families,  the interaction becomes a malignant experience around which the parent and child torture each other and drag the family down.”
