In-Home Assessments
I provide home-based observation and behavioral intervention focusing on everyday challenges to unresolved parenting or behavioral issues. Typical sessions will balance observation, intervention, and discussion. Each family can choose immediate intervention during a specific situation, or I can observe and give advice and commentary afterward. A written follow-up is provided upon request for an additional charge. Travel outside a 30-minute radius from 91042 is an additional charge for travel time.
Rates: $150 per hour. The average visit lasts 2 hours.
Phone or Zoom Sessions
I provide telehealth counseling. This service can be provided on a schedule (monthly or weekly) or as needed. Sessions may be used as a tool in a difficult parenting moment, as a general check-in to work through childhood behavioral issues or parenting strategies, or as general mental health sessions for individuals, couples, and teens.
Rates: The initial 20-minute consult is free, at $95 per 55 minutes and $50 per 25 minutes.
School-Based Intervention
Individual families initiate interventions, and arrangements must be made with the school. I provide observations of individual children in their academic settings. I will meet with teachers, principals, and other staff as needed to facilitate a discussion of the academic, behavioral, social, or emotional challenges that a student may be facing. Diagnostic reports and referrals are available upon request. If needed, a follow-up with educators and parents with suggestions for behavioral and/or academic interventions and IEP support can be provided. A written follow-up is provided upon request for an additional charge. Travel outside a 30-minute radius from 91042 is an additional charge for travel time. IEP participation is based on an hourly rate of $95.
Rates: $150 per hour. The average visit lasts 2 hours.
Parent Support Groups in person and via Zoom
Groups meet monthly for two hours. Each group creates a meeting location rotation within their homes or other pre-discussed locations or online via Zoom. The group chooses the best day and time from the available openings. Times can include mornings, afternoons, or evenings. Rates for monthly sessions are paid in whole or in two payments. The group follows a parent leadership model, meaning that the parents in the group are in charge of how the group runs. Parents are the experts on their own families. Therefore, parents discuss the parenting issues that are most important to them. I facilitate the group to help things run smoothly and introduce various helpful parenting techniques and strategies. “We would cry together, laugh together, be angry together, and admit mistakes together without fear of criticism.”
Fall to Spring Parenting Group / September - May Summer Parenting Groups
Rates: For groups of 6-8 individuals, the cost is $50 monthly per person, plus an additional free session each month is available.
Large Groups or Speaking Engagements
I have provided numerous training workshops for clinicians, teachers and parents. I have presented on topics such as positive parenting, attachment and bonding, effects of trauma on young children, development, assessing the parent-child relationship, and improving communication techniques within a family.
