I believe that contact with a psychologist can be impactful in as little as one visit, and a variety of different strategies can be utilized once someone has begun developing insight. Often people are ready to make changes but can't get an appointment soon enough, or they aren't sure if they want to go to therapy but the process is intimidating and overwhelming. I created this teletherapy process to bridge that gap, to assist patients with discovering their needs while also giving the option to treat them with therapy virtually.

When was the last time you felt heard? Can you remember a time you shared without fear of judgement? Many of us carry the weight of unspoken thoughts and feelings, fearing criticism or dismissal if we open up. The pain of not being heard – of having our experiences minimized or misunderstood – can be profound. It can lead to feelings of isolation, self-doubt, and a reluctance to reach out for help. Similarly, the fear of judgment can hold us back from expressing our true selves. We may hide parts of who we are, struggling silently with our challenges, afraid that others won't understand or accept us.

Oppositional Defiance (ODD) Therapists
What is the most effective treatment for oppositional defiant disorder?
The treatment of Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) will involve multiple approaches designed to help both the youngster and their parents, sometimes including medication. A therapist will help a child learn ways to regulate their emotions, curb their impulsiveness, and counteract anger, defiance, and disruption, while showing parents ways to bring these lessons into their home. A technique designed for children with conditions like ODD, known as Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS), may also be used. CPS addresses a child’s concerns and rewards appropriate responses while discouraging harsh punishment or criticism.
How does treatment for oppositional defiant disorder work?
Treatment for ODD addresses the issues underlying a child’s defiance and disruption, the emotional regulation and impulse-control skills they lack, and the way adults respond to them. ODD therapy is based on the idea that children with the disorder understand the difference between right and wrong, that they want to behave well, and that, with help, they can. By responding to the child with empathy instead of harsh criticism, ignoring nonviolent behaviors, and rewarding positive actions, a therapist, and the other adults in a child’s life, can help children improve their behavior.
How long does therapy for oppositional defiant disorder take?
Therapy for oppositional defiant disorder is not a short-term undertaking. Depending on the severity of a child’s symptoms, their age, the presence of other conditions like ADHD, anxiety or a mood disorder, and their family dynamic, it can take months before improvement is noted. The cooperation of parents and teachers is crucial, because the skills learned in therapy must be practiced in real-world situations, with all their potential triggers.
Does oppositional defiant disorder go away?
ODD can remit following treatment. ODD is often diagnosed in nursery school, and early intervention is essential for a positive prognosis. In two-thirds of children, according to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, symptoms resolve within three years.
