Jeronia Bowden

Our first session is a chance to get comfortable and get to know each other. I’ll talk with you and your child about what brought you in, what’s going well, and where things feel hard. I may ask follow-up questions about your intake forms to better understand your child’s needs. Your child can share at their own pace, and you’ll have space to ask questions. Together, we’ll choose a starting point and talk about what support could look like.

We’ll set clear goals with measurable steps, such as fewer outbursts, using coping skills more often, or improved communication. Together, we’ll review progress toward these benchmarks and celebrate gains. Your observations and your child’s feedback will help us understand what’s working. If goals aren’t being met, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way and adjust our approach.

We’ll make time for regular parent check-ins and agree on how often to connect based on your child’s age and needs. We’ll discuss progress toward goals, concerns, and ways to support your child at home while respecting their privacy. You’re welcome to share updates or questions between sessions, and I’ll reach out if safety concerns arise.
