Line therapists must have completed one year of college, be 18 years old, and have a clean police record. Several readings are required and the senior on the case provides 10 hours of one on one direct training regarding the specific child. Parents can tell a therapist to stop what they are doing and should then call the senior therapist. Complaints about senior therapists can be made to their Supervisor, the Clinic Director, or Michelle Sherman, Director of Clinical Services, or Dr. Sallows, Clinical Psychologist. Parent's requests that any particular person be removed from their team are always honored.
Parents attend the initial workshop and are trained along with the team.
Until we are comfortable with the child, we require a parent or an 18 year old to be in the home whenever therapists are there. Later, parents may leave as long as they are back by the end of the therapists' shift. We have implemented treatment in daycare settings and in school when both parents work. We offer counseling for families, couples, individuals, and siblings by doctoral and masters level clinicians. We bill insurance for these services.
