During this first session, our Licensed Educational Psychologist will learn all about what you’d like to accomplish for your child, and will provide recommendations about how to best accomplish your goals. The child’s presence is optional for this first session, as some parents like to discuss problems privately, so that the child doesn’t “hear us talking about him/her”. However, this is your choice. Kids are always welcome here!

At this point, most parents are ready to begin practicing the strategies, with the support of our Licensed Educational Psychologist. This session is fully customized to your level of readiness. If you’d like to just watch another session, no problem. If you’d like to “jump in and help when you feel like it”, no problem either! Or, some parents are the Psychologist’s “teaching assistant” for this first go. It’s all up to you, and what you feel ready to do. Remember, our entire goal is to turn you into the Teacher as quickly as possible, if that’s your goal. Some parents prefer to allow the psychologist to continue doing the lessons while they relax and enjoy some free time from the comfort of our office, with Wifi and hot coffee always available.
