Cecile is highly trained and qualified to provide counseling services to children and adolescents. Children and adolescents may struggle with a variety of issues, including anxiety, childhood depression, adjustment issues, dealing with divorce, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and behavior issues, just to name a few. It is of utmost importance that Cecile create a good rapport with children as they move forward together in the counseling process. This helps develop a trusting relationship in which children will allow Cecile to help them get to the root of their issue(s) and resolve them together.
Cecile generally uses a combination of play therapy and skill-building with younger children. Skill building may include developing coping skills, managing poor behavior, developing approaches for dealing with anger, and building social skills. Older children may benefit from any of the above techniques, as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
Cecile typically works with children ages 6 and above.
Sessions are billed at a rate of $150/session, with some sessions available at an adjusted rate as needed. Cecile currently accepts most private insurances, as well as Medicaid and CHP+. Insurance will typically cover all or a portion of counseling services. Cecile is happy to call your insurance prior to beginning treatment to find out what your mental health benefits are.
