Occupational Therapy

We recognize that the body and brain are intimately connected. We also understand that a collaborative approach to treating children and their families will lead to the best outcomes. That’s why at The Couch Method, talk therapists work together with occupational therapists to provide treatment that is holistic, relationship based and comprehensive. We understand that when your child’s providers are communicating with each other, you feel taken care of! Our occupational therapists incorporate evidence based treatments including Handwriting Without Tears, Intentional Relationship Model (IRM), Sensory Integration, and Therapeutic use of Self.

Diagnostic Consultation

You’re exhausted. And your intuition tells you that something is not quite right. Or you’re in a state of high alert, waiting for your child’s school to call about their most recent problematic behavior. Maybe you’ve gone to your child’s pediatrician for guidance. And although your pediatrician is well intentioned, you get the sense that your child’s needs are a bit more complex. You need guidance! You need answers! That’s where we come in. At The Couch Method, we will meet with you and your child to provide clear direction and recommend the best next steps. We will ask a series of questions and observe your child and provide a written plan of recommendations and a path forward! We will partner with you to help meet your family’s needs!

Neuro - psychological Assessment

We offer neuropsychological and psychological testing/ assessments that are tailored to your needs and unanswered questions. Often, testing can provide clarification about possible diagnoses, recommendations for future treatment, services and accommodations so you or your child can get the support they need and thrive.

At The Couch Method we start with a thorough interview. This is where we gather information, sometimes collaborating with family members and schools to gain as much information as possible regarding you or your child’s behavior. We use this information to determine which tests are most appropriate for the identified client. Next, the client comes in and participates in testing. There are lots of different tests so that we have a comprehensive understanding of the client. The testing portion can range from one hour to several hours. Finally, we engage in a feedback session. This is where we report and explain our findings and provide information such as recommendations to support the client, and possible diagnoses. We aim to deliver feedback in a holistic, thoughtful and culturally sensitive way. We offer testing for children, adolescents and adults.
