Our Care Model
Proven Strategies. Personalized Care.
Who We Treat
At Handspring, we believe that all children, adolescents, and young adults should have access to high-quality mental health care when they need it most. Families come to us describing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges and we provide the skills and tools to help them thrive.
What We Treat
Evidence-based, leading edge treatments to make meaningful and enduring changes
Our approach is focused, but we take the time to get to know you. Treatment is skills-based and focuses both on resolving real-world problems in the short term, as well as on providing life-long skills to help youth confidently navigate future challenges. When working with children and adolescents, parents and caregivers are involved in every step of the process, and valued as partners in helping each child thrive.
Our highly-trained therapists utilize principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Behavioral Parent Training (BPT). These gold standard treatments are implemented using a strengths-based and child-centered approach, that builds on the unique strengths of each child and family.
Parenting can be difficult! Each child has different strengths and challenges and requires different types of support and responses from their parents. Many parents find that parenting support gives them the skills and confidence that they need to respond effectively to their child’s needs, reduce problematic behaviors, increase their child’s confidence, and improve the quality of the relationship with their child.
Our licensed therapists provide parents with evidence-based strategies for supporting children, adolescents and young adults with a range of difficulties. When disruptive behavior is the primary concern, Behavioral Parent Training is an evidence-based approach that gives parents the tools they need to manage and prevent these behaviors. In this approach, parents/caregivers are taught highly effective approaches to manage a range of difficult behaviors in their child or adolescent. Treatment is problem-focused and highly interactive, as skills are both taught and then modeled by the therapist, as well as role played with parents. This interactive approach promotes confidence and mastery so that parents can implement skills in real-world, high-stress moments. Therapists also often work with youth to develop an understanding of the specific factors that contribute to their behavioral difficulties and teach skills for managing emotions and behaviors.
