Single Session Consultation
Why I Developed This Service
Through years of working with families, I’ve seen firsthand how parents often struggle with pressing issues that require timely support. Whether it’s a behavioral incident, a new discovery about your child, or a major decision like therapy or residential treatment, parents don’t always need long-term counseling—they need practical, effective guidance in the moment. Research supports this model: single-session interventions have been shown to provide significant relief and direction, even in just one meeting.
“Single-session therapy has been found to be a powerful intervention for those in need of immediate support, demonstrating effectiveness in helping individuals gain clarity and implement meaningful changes.” (Perkins, 2006)

Are weighing the decision to pursue therapy, residential treatment, or other interventions.
