Family Assessment

• Family relationships, child behavior, and parenting

• Adoptive Families  -- Adjustment to new family, developmental delays, attachment problems, special needs of children coming from other countries, orphanages or foster care.

Developmental Guidance: 

• The goal of Developmental Guidance is to enhance empathy, communication and self-esteem in parents and children.
  
• Individual Sessions with parents and children focus on understanding normal behavior and how behavior is affected by personality, temperament, stress and family circumstances.
  
• Parents are helped to understand how these stages affect their child's behavior, how to intervene when children's fearful, aggressive, or unreasonable behavior may be normal but not acceptable.

Parent-Child Counseling

• Infant Mental Health: children from birth to three are seen with their parents.
  
• School age children will be seen with their parents for evaluation.
  
• For issues involving family relationships, developmental delay, child behavior and parenting, attachment and separation or special family situations.
