Solutions for children and adolescents
Kids and teenagers can struggle with very complex problems. The Center for Behavioral Health Solutions focuses on working with children in a collaborative way to overcome these problems. Treatment at the Center begins with a thorough assessment, since the foundation of effective treatment is accurate assessment. From that assessment, an individualized program of psychotherapy strategies and techniques is designed, drawing on well-established evidence-based practices. Throughout the course of your work at the Center, progress towards your goals is tracked and used to inform your treatment. Although the specific length of treatment is variable, it is designed to be short-term. The goal of psychotherapy at the Center is to prepare kids and teenagers with the skills to manage complex problems on their own.
solutions for parents and caregivers
We love our kids…but sometimes being around them can be stressful. If you feel like you are at the end of your rope and have run out of ideas, parent consultation may be the right fit for you. The Center can work directly with parents and caregivers of all kinds to support effective solutions for complex behavioral problems. The initial visit starts with an assessment of you and your child, but the remainder of the visits focus primarily on meeting with parents only. This gives you the time and attention to speak freely about parenting, brainstorm strategies to manage behavior problems, and start having more positive time and less stress with your children. If you are thinking how will you possibly fit this into your schedule, the Center also offers video-based remote consultation services so you can keep meeting even when time and travel are tight.
solutions for young adults
Starting college or beginning your career can be an especially stressful transition. The pressure to perform, live and work independently, and manage your time efficiently can be difficult. If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by the academic pressures, having uncertainty about how to communicate with roommates, professors, or coaches, or are struggling to find your fit on campus, the Center can help. Learning how to solve complex emotional problems and take care of yourself physically and psychologically is a key focus of our work together. At the Center, you will learn about concrete skills that can help you take an active approach to success.
solutions for Schools
Educators are dedicated to working for the success of their students. Yet some children need more solutions than any one team can generate. The Center provides consultation and support to individual educators, classroom teams, or even the entire school using solutions based on science. Whether your school needs support for one student or an entire student body, a number of solution-focused in-service trainings are available for customization to meet your needs. The Center can also support speaking engagements and training for parent organizations such as PTOs and SEPACs.
solutions for Companies
Supporting employees balancing work and family life can feel like an impossible task. Managers and executives who are dealing with the stress of a child or teenager with complex emotional or behavioral problems can have a cascading effect on the rest of the workplace. Connecting employees with parent consultation services at the Center can improve productivity, cut absenteeism, reduce turnover, and increase company value by attracting talented professionals looking for a work environment that is supportive of families. Employee retention is a key driver of customer retention, which in turn is a key driver of company growth and profits. If you are an HR manager at a company that prides itself in supporting working parents, please reach out. The Center has a number of approachable options for companies, including parent info sessions at your office, group-based parenting classes that can integrate with your wellness program, or executive parent coaching sessions to provide support directly to employees.
