PSYCHOTHERAPY
Psychotherapy gives children and teens the opportunity to learn and practice new skills for managing the obstacles in their lives. It also teaches your child to communicate their thoughts and feelings in a more helpful way. The therapeutic relationship a child has with their psychologist can serve as a building block for improving your own relationship with your child, giving you both a resource for navigating the challenges of growing up. We offer a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches to help children and teens throughout each developmental stage. The goals of therapy are individualized to meet the needs of your child, and treatment plans and goals are formulated collaboratively between the psychologist, parents, and often the child as well. Contact us today with any questions and to let us know how we can help! Learn more here.
PARENT CONSULTATIONS
Every child develops at their own pace. We often expect development to be a straight line. Yet for many kids, development can be uneven – they may shine in many areas and may struggle in others. Uneven development is most frustrating when a child can’t meet expectations in an area that is important to them, like school, home life, or friendships. It can be difficult for a caregiver to know when the child’s struggles require intervention or treatment, or when the caregiver just needs to monitor the difficulties and have faith that their child will eventually “get it.” Parent consultations can be helpful either when parents are not sure what type of services they need, or when they just need to consult with a professional to discuss a particular challenge they are having with their child to seek guidance or support. Consultations can consist of a single session, regularly scheduled sessions, or as-needed sessions. Learn more here.
PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS
Psychological evaluations help parents or caregivers understand their child on a much deeper level, whether it’s learning style, emotional functioning, social difficulties, or behavioral problems. It involves a time commitment from both the parent(s) as well as the child, as the psychologist will spend hours gathering information about your child’s background and current functioning in order to provide very in-depth, highly specialized feedback. Gaining this deeper understanding can help tremendously in knowing the next steps in how to help your child succeed! Triangle Child Psychology offers psychological, neuropsychological, and psychoeducational evaluations for children ranging in age from preschool through college who are struggling to fulfill their potential due to developmental, learning, processing, or social-emotional factors.
