METHODOLOGIES
In times of intense pain, suffering becomes automatic. Suffering is one of our mental and physical responses to cope with a negative situation. It leaves us feeling helpless, and the future seeming dire. Sometimes our physical pain also increases as the result of the emotional suffering as well. Suffering is a choice, not a requirement. Together, I will guide you and your loved ones through advanced psychological therapies to a place of self-empowerment, beyond the effect of helplessness and suffering.
COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT)
The CBT method teaches children how their thoughts, feelings, and actions are all connected and how they can sometimes impact each other negatively. I use various CBT techniques to help your child learn how to change unwanted thoughts, feelings, and actions into his/her own benefit.
Conditions treated with CBT include:
Headache
Chronic pain
Diabetes
sleep disorder
irritable bowel syndrome
treatment adherence issue
Grief
Anxiety
depression
BIOFEEDBACK
With advanced Biofeedback technologies, we will connect your child with vital sensors (breath, heart rate, temperature, muscle tension, etc..) to literally see and hear what your child's body is doing when he/she is experiencing stress and when in a relaxed state.
Through pediatric oriented game-like activities, I am then able to teach children how to control their mind and body through breathing and visual techniques. These lessons can create a long-lasting resolution for your child to utilize in current, and future times of stress and illness.
Conditions treated with Biofeedback include:
Chronic headache
Migraine
Hypertension
Asthma
Dysautonomia
Concussion
Sleep disturbance
Anxiety
Depression
HYPNOSIS
Children are naturally "pros" at creating imagination. Through hypnosis techniques, I will guide your child to become more aware of the mind-body connection and help ease the discomfort and pain.
Conditions treated with Hypnosis include:
Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome
Headache
Sleep disturbance
Trauma
Enuresis
GI issues
Needle phobia
Anxiety
Depression
