School Support
As a seasoned educator and school counselor for over 30 years, I understand how challenging school can be at different ages and stages of the academic journey.
Students grow and change every year and their needs grow and change as well. I can help you and your child identify academic and or social-emotional difficulties manifesting in school. Together, we will collaborate with your child's school in a proactive way.
School Support Services Include:
- Providing timely interventions to address emerging issues
- Collaborating with teachers, school counselors, administrators and parents to develop support plans
- Reading and analyzing psycho-educational evaluations and facilitating recommendations
- Coordinating with your school of choice to provide support services and advocate for your child's academic and social- emotional needs
By working together we will develop a plan to support your child so that they can thrive in school using evidence-based strategies ,root cause identification and enhancements to their success.
Young Adults
Therapy is not a sign of weakness; it's a sign of strength. You will have a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with Sylvia.
Your twenties are a time of incredible growth, exploration, and change. This decade is filled with exciting new experiences, but can also bring uncertainty, stress, and self-doubt. If you're feeling overwhelmed, confused, or just not quite yourself, therapy might be the right step for you.
