Andrea Carpenter
Introduction
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor & a certified PCIT therapist/trainer. I have been working with children & families for the past 10 years who have been experiencing a variety of different stressors, traumatic situations, and transitions/adjustments. I have found that having someone to work along side you as a coach, therapist and support can make a world of difference in taking steps to move forward and accomplish your goals. Treatment is meant to be short term, by the end you will also feel more confident in how to respond to your child's needs and your child will be better at managing their needs and emotions. I utilize PCIT as a parent-coaching frame work to help improve your child's behaviors, improve their relationship with you and others, and help you feel more confident as a parent. PCIT is geared for children 2-7 years old but can also be adapted to work with children until the age of 10. I am receiving training to become a certified Trauma Focused (TF-CBT) therapist to help children overcome the anxiety, fear, and behaviors they experience following a traumatic event. TF-CBT addresses all impacts of trauma including feelings and behaviors, as well as improving the parent's personal distress about the child’s traumatic experience, parenting skills and supportive interactions.
