Dr. Henderson offers parent consultation sessions that are focused on supporting parents to see beyond their child or adolescent’s behavior, and to work to understand their child or adolescent from the inside out. Dr. Henderson views parents as the answer for a child or adolescent who is struggling. Founded on the science of child development and attachment (the relationship between parent and child), her aim is to improve connections between parents and children and to foster an overall sense of well-being within the family.
Parents typically seek consultation because of:
- behavioral challenges
- questions about discipline
- frustration with their child or adolescent
- concerns about their child’s emotional health
- attempts to make sense of a child’s experiences at school
- support through adoption
- questions about how to nurture a child in foster care
- supporting a child through divorce
