How Emma works
What therapy looks like here
Working with the Family
Sessions can make space for different perspectives and communication needs. The intake team can help you discuss your child’s age and whether Emma’s services fit your family.
Emotions and Connection
Emma draws on her stated approaches, including DBT skills and trauma-informed care, in relation to the needs discussed in therapy. Goals are collaborative rather than focused on making a child fit one mold.
This page does not describe ADHD testing, diagnostic evaluation, or medication services. Ask the intake team about the specific support your child or family needs.
Family support can also include the pressures parents carry and how people communicate at home. You can read more about Parenting, Stress Management, and Relationships.
