Topic: How to Choose a Child Therapist
Date/Time: May 19 from 10-11 a.m.
Details: In this workshop you will explore how to choose a child and family therapist. When we are parenting a child with high needs, who has experienced attachment trauma, ruptured relationships, or toxic stress, choosing a therapist with the right framework is imperative. If you are reading this, you are likely a well-resourced parent or caregiver who has asked the question, “HOW do I best choose a therapist, WHO am I looking for, and WHAT are the qualities, phrases, and credentials, and lived experience I should be asking about?” We will dismantle the jargon attached to clinical language and therapist descriptions, discuss modalities, and discuss practical directories and searches to best choose a therapist for your child and your family to begin to heal. If you want to feel more empowered, less helpless, and knowledgeable when choosing providers, join Abby for this webinar!
