Parent Consultation
"The uncertainty of parenting can bring up feelings in us that range from frustration to terror." — Brene Brown
Many parents have concerns about their child’s development or mental health and have no idea what to do. I offer consultations to provide information and guidance on these and other issues. I will assess the concerns and issues and may provide developmental guidance, education, parenting strategies or action plans for further help.
Topics addressed in parent consultations may include:
clarifying developmental or mental health concerns and determining a course of action
help with understanding and managing your child's mental health diagnosis
understanding your child’s development
education on parenting strategies
learning how to get your child help at school for behavioral problems or learning challenges
choosing an appropriate day care or school environment for your child
Parent consultation is NOT psychotherapy or counseling and is not a substitute for therapeutic services. If it is determined that there is a need for professional therapy, we will discuss the nature of the services that I can provide and, if needed, you will be provided with additional referrals.
