Areas of Focus
-
Anxiety and OCD can be confusing and scary, not just for the individual experiencing these symptoms, but for their family as well. I often hear how anxiety and fears start small that eventually grow over time and become all consuming. Now, the young individual who was once able to experience calm and ease, is now experiencing never ending worry, is often feeling lost, frustrated, and isolated. In addition, caregivers are often trying their best to make things easier for their child, however many of those efforts seem to provide little to no relief and the anxiety worsens.
I am here to let you know I can help you and your family experience freedom from anxiety and OCD through Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP), an evidence-based treatment. ERP is a collaborative and gradual treatment approach, working with the whole system, to face your or your child’s fears and change the way the world is viewed. This may sound intimidating; however, I will be with you each step of the way, finding ways to make this fun while offering validation and encouragement. We will work as a team to celebrate the small and big victories during our work together!

Sometimes life brings unexpected events that stick with us, even if we don’t want it to, and leave us feeling overwhelmed, scared, isolated, and maybe even overly cautious of the world around us. If you are a caregiver of a child who has experienced a traumatic event, you may also be feeling lost and unsure how to best support your loved one. By using Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), an evidence-based treatment, designed for children and adolescents (ages 5-17) I am able to support your loved one regain a sense of self confidence and safety. This modality also includes parental support, so the family as a whole is left with skills and resources to rebuild an enjoyable life worth living.

In need of consultation for yourself or a group of your employees? I can provide training and consultation related to OCD and anxiety using ERP treatment.

JP counseling services specializes working with children, adolescents, and also works with adults. If your child is not ready to start therapy and as a caregiver you are looking for support, please book a consultation to discuss how I can continue to support you.
Services
-
Whether we are working on anxiety, OCD, or trauma, we will have a mix of family and individual sessions. For young individuals, it is especially important for the family unit to be included in services, so caregivers or other loved ones are required to participate in aspects of treatment. It is also important for the young individual to feel they have their own space to talk freely, which is why I also incorporate individual sessions into our treatment plan. Please note for all first and second sessions, if your child is under the age of 18, a parent or guardian is required to attend these sessions.
Family sessions are not just for parents. Family sessions can include spouses, partners, or even extended family members if warranted.
-
Weekly individual sessions tend to be held for those older than 18. However, please note that if you have loved ones that are highly involved in your life, I may recommend including some family sessions to ensure you are getting the most effective treatment. This is something we would discuss together before initiating.
-
Consultation and training is intended for other professionals who are eager to enhance their learning around ERP treatment for anxiety and OCD disorders. Consultations can be over the phone or video calls. Prices for either will be the same.
Depending on your need, training may include a one-day training or on-going training to an individual or a group. These prices may vary, so please book a call to determine what would best fit your needs.
It’s not easy starting therapy and it’s a brave first step you are taking! I want you to understand the services I provide so that when we start our first session you know what to expect. If you are a parent or caregiver seeking services for your child, we can use the consultation as a way to explore what therapy options would best suit your family.
