HOW CAN I HELP?
One of my specialties in working with children and adolescents is academic and motivational problems. With years of experience in the educational system—as a teacher, university professor, and motivation researcher, I offer a variety of solutions for your child’s difficulties. Therapy consists of individual sessions as well as parent and family sessions. When appropriate, I consult with teachers. The goal of therapy is for your child to be engaged at school, develop a sense of competence and resilience, feel comfortable seeking help from teachers, and perform academically at an optimal level.
