Behavioral Therapy Services for Children
Accepting New Clients.
PsychCare has immediate availability for behavioral therapy services for children.
Dr. McLean is a Pediatric Psychologist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who specializes in providing behavioral services to children and adolescents. Using a combination of Behavioral Parent Training (BPT) and child-focused strategies, treatment goals seek to improve functional, appropriate skills and reduce behaviors which affect safety and quality of life. Behavior problems treated include tantrums/outbursts, aggression, disruptive behaviors, toilet training difficulties, mild self-injurious behaviors, elopement, sleep problems, and refusal/not following parent instructions
Therapy services are short-term (up to approximately 12 weeks) and family-centered, and focus on supporting parents in developing the confidence and skills needed to address difficult to manage behaviors within the home. Parent involvement is an essential component of treatment, and parents are given strategies to practice between appointments. Sessions are usually weekly at the beginning of treatment and become less frequent as improvement occurs.
Dr. McLean’s approach
- Emphasize the use of empirically based approaches to assessment and treatment
- Actively involve parents in the development and implementation of treatment
- Improve adaptive behaviors
- Create individualized treatment plans specific to the needs of your child and family
- Reduce maladaptive behaviors which interfere with functioning, safety, and quality of life
- Collect and analyze data to evaluate effectiveness of treatment
Behavioral services are offered at PsychCare’s Columbia office or can be conducted virtually.
The intake session is $245. Subsequent sessions are $195. Dr. McLean is an out-of-network provider. Documentation/Superbills can be provided to you at your request to submit for out of network reimbursement.
