The Child and Family Solutions Center Approach

We understand that bringing your child to see a psychologist can be a very difficult decision. All of the families we work with are treated with the utmost respect and sensitivity. Initially, we work with children, adolescents, and parents to gain an understanding of what therapy is all about and how we can help. We actively and continuously seek feedback to make sure that our clients are getting their needs met. Research has consistently demonstrated that the quality of the relationship between a therapist and their client is at the core of whether therapy will be successful. Using our skills and experiences, we work to create a safe and trusting environment to meet your goals.

When it comes to knowing your child, you are the expert. This is why we believe parental involvement is a critical component of the treatment. Our approach is to create a “team environment” that includes the child, family, school (when necessary), physician, and psychologist to provide the optimal level of support to address whatever problems the child is experiencing. Since the child is the most important person in this effort, he or she becomes the “captain” of this team. Your child will always be addressed respectfully and in a developmentally appropriate manor.

We use a strength-based approach in understanding and working with your child. We are not only identifying the child’s challenges, but looking at the many areas that make your child unique and special. Often, we build upon these strengths to create interventions that will help. We utilize evidenced-based treatments whenever possible. This means the approaches we use are well researched and found to be helpful in addressing the presenting challenges.

We know that you are entrusting us with helping your child and family. We will do everything we can to make our work together a helpful and enriching experience.
