We all strive to be the best version of ourselves physically, and emotionally, but there are often times in our lives where we can't do it alone. Taking the first step towards healing can feel intimidating, but it's also the beginning of a powerful journey. I like to help my clients achieve their goals, no matter how big or small they may be, in an atmosphere of safety, warmth, humor and nonjudgmental support. I want my clients to feel comfortable enough to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a meaningful way. I truly enjoy helping my clients gain the motivation to make the necessary positive changes in their lives.

The most inspiring part of being a mental health provider is taking a role in the transformation and resilience of a person’s story as they face their mental health challenges. Witnessing the ability to regain inner strength, control over their lives, develop hope, and have the capacity to try has been gratifying both professionally and personally. I choose to continue specializing in mental health and make my compassion, kindness, dedication, and skills available to more individuals who allow me the opportunity to gain their trust and be their provider.

Taking the initial step towards mental health self-care & counseling is a courageous act. We sometimes neglect our emotional & mental well-being, which happens to be the foundation of our physical self.

Oppositional Defiance (ODD) Therapists
What is the most effective treatment for oppositional defiant disorder?
The treatment of Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) will involve multiple approaches designed to help both the youngster and their parents, sometimes including medication. A therapist will help a child learn ways to regulate their emotions, curb their impulsiveness, and counteract anger, defiance, and disruption, while showing parents ways to bring these lessons into their home. A technique designed for children with conditions like ODD, known as Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS), may also be used. CPS addresses a child’s concerns and rewards appropriate responses while discouraging harsh punishment or criticism.

How does treatment for oppositional defiant disorder work?
Treatment for ODD addresses the issues underlying a child’s defiance and disruption, the emotional regulation and impulse-control skills they lack, and the way adults respond to them. ODD therapy is based on the idea that children with the disorder understand the difference between right and wrong, that they want to behave well, and that, with help, they can. By responding to the child with empathy instead of harsh criticism, ignoring nonviolent behaviors, and rewarding positive actions, a therapist, and the other adults in a child’s life, can help children improve their behavior.

How long does therapy for oppositional defiant disorder take?
Therapy for oppositional defiant disorder is not a short-term undertaking. Depending on the severity of a child’s symptoms, their age, the presence of other conditions like ADHD, anxiety or a mood disorder, and their family dynamic, it can take months before improvement is noted. The cooperation of parents and teachers is crucial, because the skills learned in therapy must be practiced in real-world situations, with all their potential triggers.

Does oppositional defiant disorder go away?
ODD can remit following treatment. ODD is often diagnosed in nursery school, and early intervention is essential for a positive prognosis. In two-thirds of children, according to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, symptoms resolve within three years.
