Coaching & Counseling

Coaching and Counseling Services for Children, Teens, Adults, and Families

Using short-term, solution-focused methods, we help family members identify and alleviate problems as needed and desired.  Clients leave with enhanced skills and strategies to independently address current and future family challenges. One focus and expertise of our social worker is advocacy related to school issues.

Our Parent Coaching program offers individual coaching for parents, grandparents, nannies or whoever is responsible for the child’s care.   We find that parents often benefit from short-term coaching around specific behavioral issues.

Other domains for family coaching and counseling include:

Managing positive and negative behaviors in individuals with sensory challenges

Balancing positive interactions between children with sensory issues and their caregivers

Promoting well-being when “difficult” behaviors are exhibited

Coaching and/or counseling services are usually short term (1 to 20 sessions) and may be provided to children, couples, individual adults or families as a whole.

Previous speech pathologists didn’t know what to do with her. They were very successful professionals, but our daughter stumped them. She had flat lined in her speech development for close to the last year. Then we went to STAR and met their OT and SLP. It was an amazing transition over about 7 weeks. — Tammy and Nathan Scheopner, http://spdstar.org/what-parents-are-saying/
