A significant number of our patients are children and adolescents.
So, through the years we have developed successful therapeutic modules
to provide relief from behavioral and emotional problems. Many of our therapists are specifically trained for counseling kids. Some have worked in acute-care in-patient hospitals, as well as residential treatment facilities and youth shelters. We have developed a token economy program for families to use at home to encourage kids to behave appropriately. We believe that positive reinforcement and natural consequences lead to healthy behaviors and healthy emotions. A kids problem is a familys problem. Everyone in the family is affected by a childs acting-out. So, in most cases, the parents will be invited to be an integral component of the childs therapy. Our kids are products of our parenting styles. Sometimes, parenting must vary from child to child. HBC helps you to adjust to your childs needs, which, in turn, will make your life easier too! Your HBC therapist will work closely with your childrens teachers, school counselors, doctors, and other specialists to assure the continuity of care necessary for the best outcome. Usually, teachers and school counselors are pleased to work with us. Also if your child is ARD-evaluated, and/or is in the 504 program, we will be pleased to provide reports as requested. Divorce, frequent moves, loss of loved ones or pets,
as well as other factors will add to a childs stress, so we work
with you and your kids to ease these difficult transitions. |
