Family being together and happy

How Bala CBT helps parents & families:

We happily involve the family when needed and always provide parenting strategies too! One of our goals is to not just help kids and what they are struggling with, but to help parents feel more confident in their parenting and how to best help their child at home.

If needed, your clinician at Bala CBT will:

  • Attend any school meetings on behalf of your child and family.

  • Communicate with your child’s school counselors, teachers, and school team to advocate for your child and their needs in the school setting.

  • Attend IEP meetings and openly communicate with your child’s school team regarding how to best help them in school.

  • Openly communicate with your child’s other treating professionals to ensure we are all working as a team to help your child succeed, thrive, and feel better!
