Behavior Therapy:
I have twenty years of experience in designing, implementing and evaluating the effectiveness of behavioral interventions with children. As with any intervention that I design, in addition to changing the target behavior(s), I strive to implement strategies that are sensitive to the child’s wishes and that are likely to have a positive impact on the child’s self-perception and familial and peer relationships.
I have specific training and expertise in implementing:
· Parent Training for parents with children diagnosed as having ADHD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder
· Exposure and Response Prevention Training for children with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
· In-Vivo Desensitization Training for children with Phobias and other manifestations of Disabling Anxiety (e.g, Social Anxiety, Panic Disorder, etc.)
