A lot of time, parents or school believe something is wrong with the child that needs fixing. Therapy for kids helps us understand why they behave the way they do so we can guide them to get the same thing in an appropriate manner. It really is teaching them emotional and behavior regulation that will be a lifetime skill. It also is for parents and caregivers to not be hard on themselves and the children and create a fostering environment where everyone understands each other’s needs and expectations.” Natasha is a foreign qualified and licensed educational psychologist (NCSP) and behavior therapist (APF certification). She works with children as young as 2 to 21 years to help them with their emotional, behavioral, and academic challenges. Her therapeutic approach is diverse and comprehensive, catering to a wide range of clinical issues that children and adolescents may face in their school or home environment (Learning Difficulties, Emotional Regulation, ADHD, Autism, Developmental Delays, Selective Mutism, Family Disturbance, to name a few). Her dedication to fostering positive growth extends beyond direct sessions with the child, as she primarily provides parent consultation and home recommendations. This approach emphasizes the importance of involving parents and caregivers in the therapeutic process to empower them with the tools and knowledge to support their children in becoming their best selves. By incorporating parent consultation, she intends to create a collaborative environment where families can actively participate in their child's progress, leading to more holistic and sustainable outcomes in their development and emotional well-being.
