- Description of work provided and philosophy of working with this population:
- In the residential program at Whitney and in my own work with children and adolescents I take a developmental approach with my clients in that I try to identify the obstacles (e.g. trauma histories; relationship difficulties; processing problems, etc.) that are presently getting in the way of the client being on a positive developmental trajectory. The treatment is “trauma informed” in that I try to utilize the most recent research around trauma, neurodevelopment, and developmental psychology to prioritize treatment goals and inform treatment interventions.
