It can be difficult navigating a complex mental health system when you are struggling with a child with social or emotional concerns. Although child centered therapy (which I offered for many years) can be valuable and the only option in some cases, its increasingly becoming clearer that just focusing on the child is sometimes insufficient in providing the most effective treatment. I have found that when parents are able to fully understand their child's needs, diagnosis and necessary supports, their stress levels decrease, the entire family benefits greatly and there is evidence of more sustainable long-term changes. . In consultation I address several issues that can become barriers to a child’s progress in treatment including parent stress, parent burnout, disagreement and lack of communication between the two custodial parents, crisis driven distractions, and inability to effectively implement skills and set goals.
