Angry outbursts, defiance, manipulation, ptsd symptoms...

"Nearly 35 million U.S. children have experienced one or more types of childhood trauma."

 

Having worked domestically and internationally with children, Olivia has witnessed not only the need for therapeutic interventions but also educating parents on how to parent a child who has had trauma., anxiety, depression, sexuality or performance issues. How do you handle a child who has  angry outbursts, defiance or unsure of their sexuality? What does it mean when your child has been diagnosed with ADHD, PTSD and/or ODD?

 

Olivia utilizes Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with interventions from The Trust-Based Relational Intervention Model to address all types of struggles as well as integrating the parent into the therapeutic process. A lot of work can be done with just the child alone but Olivia believes in treating the whole issue, not just a piece of it. That being said, Olivia works really hard to provide psychoeducation to the parent and the child as well as treating the behaviors that are difficult to manage.

 

Your child is so much more than the trauma he/she has endured and the ways the past works itself out behaviorally. Get in touch with Olivia for a free first session to discover how she can help you and your child.
