Sometimes life can be explained as a "beautiful disaster". How we handle the disasters in our lives creates who we are today, even if it is painful. Our disasters can be defined differently from person to person. Some disasters you may be facing can include anxious thinking patterns, depressive symptoms that overrun your daily life, past traumas that continue to be triggered, or simply not feeling like the best version of yourself. These issues can impact your relationships with others, but most importantly, how you view yourself.

I imagine you as someone who wants to take that first brave step, but who is feeling wary, "stuck", and perhaps discouraged, by past attempts at therapy in which you did not feel accepted, understood, or helped. I envision you as someone who wants a safe place to be yourself, while you work on issues that get in the way of being your best self. I believe that you want a therapist who can be a warm, compassionate harbinger of hope who will listen to your goals and steer you toward successful achievement of those goals

Healing is a process, but not one that needs to be done alone. We all encounter challenges, problems and stress that can impact us and often leave us wounded. Emotionally wounded that is. Anxiety can feel crushing and crippling. Depression can feel dark and lonely. Relationship problems can feel confusing and hopeless. Keeping up with the demands of life can be challenging with all the burdens that weigh us down or consume our hearts and minds.

TEENS: I help teens (and young adults), beginning at age 14 years, who are feeling overwhelmed by depression or anxiety and the isolation that it brings. Through a combination of talk therapy and practical skills-building, we'll work together to resolve their burdens and develop a solution for overcoming their challenges. Working through the hard stuff (with a healthy dose of laughter to get through the pain) leads them to a place of peace and relief. Finally, they're able to find joy in being themselves.

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.
