Assessment & School Interventions

Sometimes children develop inappropriate behaviors that are part of a learning disability or negative school experiences. They may also develop coping mechanisms that interfere with learning and create difficulties at home, school, with peers, and may even cause harm to his/her self. Some behaviors are beyond the child's control, such as those associated with other health diagnoses. Other times, the behaviors may be in response to fear, sadness, change, or experiences of loss. Others may need help to develop positive coping behaviors to have their needs met. If your child is having difficulty with behaviors that are interfering with their ability to be successful, we can help. Contact our office today to arrange an assessment. 

Emotional & Behavioral Training

Emotional and behavioral training offers a positive intervention for children with emotional and behavioral problems that create difficulties at home, school, with peers, and in various settings. Assessment helps identify what leads to both positive and negative behaviors and the cycle involved in promoting/perpetuating problem behaviors. Emotional and behavioral training teaches children the skills they need to successfully manage their own behaviors. 

High Risk Behavior Counseling

Regal Oak counseling uses components from the Strength Enhancement Approach to Success (S.E.A.S.) Program for high-risk behavior counseling. The S.E.A.S. program is an evidence-based curriculum that address the needs of adolescents and teens (age 14-19) who engage in high-risk behaviors and exhibit difficulties in numerous areas. The areas covered by the program include strengths assessment; thoughts, emotions, and behaviors; personal control; decision-making; communication; risk assessment and management; and maintenance after program completion. Schedule an appointment with us today for your teen.

For more information about the S.E.A.S. program components, or to inquire about access for a school or youth organization, call Dr. Allen at 682-651-7621

Individual, Parent & Family Therapies

Parent involvement is an important part of counseling for children and adolescents, as is consideration of family environment and dynamics. We use Family Systems Therapy to help parents, children and adolescents struggling with behavior management, emotional, and relationship issues in the family, and to create a family environment built on trust and communication. This is coordinated based on the specific needs of the individual, parents, family and associated counseling goals. Contact our office to arrange your family session today!
