EDUCATIONAL THERAPY
Who I See
-Students 14 and older who have been labelled:
-Learning disabled;
-Gifted;
-“On the autism spectrum”; OR
-Diagnosed with mood disorders such as anxiety or depression, especially when those issues have affected their academic performance; OR
-Kids entering new and more challenging school settings; and
Seniors with separation (or application, or other) anxiety about all that happens next.
How I Help Them
-I teach strengths-based self-awareness of all the things your child has done well in life, even if school has been a chronic challenge;
-I encourage emotional resilience by helping kids understand that they will change, in one way or another, so it may as well be positive change!;
-Together, we home in on key interests that may spur action – and concentration and study – that you have never seen in your student before;
-Your child and I explore the benefits of self-advocacy and independence skills by practicing mock conversations with teachers and trial runs of job interviews;
-I coordinate with other professionals and schools to take some of the burden off parents who may be managing multiple IEPs, medication plans, and emotions—daily.
-I work in person, on Zoom, and by phone.
