Psychological Testing
Psychological testing provides a comprehensive picture of each person's unique strengths as well as areas where they might benefit from additional support. Using gold-standard assessment tools, we explore domains such as cognitive ability, attention, executive functioning, academic skills, emotional and behavioral functioning, and adaptive functioning. While a psychological evaluation does not always result in a diagnosis, we commonly utilize testing to identify or rule out diagnoses such as Autism, ADHD, Specific Learning Disorders, Intellectual Disability, Giftedness, Anxiety, OCD, and Depression. The testing process ultimately fosters a deeper understanding of each person, celebrating unique abilities while creating a tailored support plan to help each individual thrive at home, school, and in the community.
Child and Teen Therapy
Child and teen therapy offers a transformative opportunity to navigate challenges, develop essential skills, and foster emotional resilience. Through a supportive and nurturing environment, therapy provides a safe space to explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences. We utilize evidence-based techniques tailored to each child's unique needs, empowering them to express themselves effectively and build healthy relationships. Some of our gold-standard approaches include play therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). By addressing concerns early, therapy equips children and adolescents with the tools they need to navigate life's challenges with confidence and thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Engaging in therapy not only supports immediate emotional well-being, but also lays the foundation for lifelong resilience and success.
Parent Support
Parent support services offer invaluable guidance and resources to parents navigating the complexities of raising children. Through expert insights and compassionate support, we strive to empower parents to build stronger connections with their children, enhance parenting skills, and foster a nurturing family environment. By providing a safe space for parents to explore their concerns, share experiences, and learn effective strategies, parent support services facilitate healthier parent-child relationships and promote positive family dynamics. Some of the most common concerns we work to address include differences in parenting styles between parents/caregivers, managing disruptive behavior (e.g., tantrums, aggression, noncompliance), sleep and toileting difficulties, strain on the parent-child relationship, and parenting stress. Parent support services are designed to not only enhance parental confidence and competence, but also cultivate a supportive community where parents can find encouragement, validation, and practical solutions to common parenting challenges.
Executive Functioning Coaching
Executive functioning coaching provides a tailored approach to unlocking our full potential by honing vital skills such as organization, time management, and goal setting. Through personalized strategies and practical, evidence-based techniques, executive functioning coaching empowers individuals to enhance their productivity, manage stress effectively, and achieve their goals with confidence. By addressing specific challenges and building on strengths, executive functioning coaching provides tools needed to navigate complex tasks, prioritize responsibilities, and thrive in various aspects of life.
School Support
School support and advocacy play a pivotal role in ensuring every child receives the necessary resources and accommodations to thrive academically and socially. School support services at McKee Collaborative Therapy aims to foster a partnership between students, parents, and educators. Through personalized support and guidance, we empower families to navigate the complexities of the educational system, access appropriate services, and secure the accommodations essential for their child's success. Together, we can cultivate a nurturing educational community where every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential!
