Behavior Therapy

An approach to understanding and changing human behavior that focuses on modifying an individual’s environment to create positive behavior change rather than directly changing the individual from the inside. When a parent changes the way they respond to their child’s behavior, the child’s behavior inevitably changes for the better.

Effective Parenting

Parenting is stressful even with the most well-behaved kids. Many common methods of discipline, like yelling, time-outs, spanking, grounding, and taking away privileges, can backfire, often having a negative emotional effect on the child and the parent. Reacting rather than responding to negative behavior does not teach a child what to do instead of misbehaving and can worsen behaviors over time. 

For the Sake of the Whole Family

Families who find themselves in the same situation over and over again are bound to build up stress and toxic interaction patterns for both parents and kids.

Stressed-out parents stress out their kids, who in turn stress their parents out even more. This vicious cycle can be prevented by effectively and gently curbing negative behaviors and teaching skills that replace them.

Different Motivations

By assuming people will all be motivated or hindered by the same things, or always using the same motivator regardless of the situation, we are simply hoping that they will work. Discovering what motivates an individual is the key to learning and changing behavior. Some people enjoy alone time while others enjoy a party. One employee feels amazing when they’re promoted, while another prioritizes work-life balance and would much prefer a flexible schedule or extra time off.

De-coding Behaviors

We all repeat behaviors that work.  Frequently, in the hope of better family or classroom dynamics, applying punishments without understanding the root causes makes behaviors worse. Every parent, teacher, and employer can benefit from learning to understand behavior patterns, identify the purpose behind them, and how to reduce challenging behaviors through building skills.
