Parent Coaching Integration

Integrating parent coaching into therapy is a valuable approach that empowers parents to actively participate in their child's development. By providing parents with guidance, strategies, and resources, therapists enable them to reinforce therapeutic goals at home, creating a more supportive and consistent learning environment.

Our Trust-Based Approach

A trust-based approach to developing relationships in therapy emphasizes building a strong foundation of mutual trust, understanding, and collaboration between the child, family, and therapist. Unlike a traditional clinical model centered on compliance, which may prioritize completion of trials and not take into factor a child’s cues of readiness, a trust-based approach values the child’s autonomy and active participation in decision-making.
