Does your child have trouble focusing or performing in school? Are you looking for parent strategies to better support your child’s needs? Are you concerned with your child's mental health or development? As a parent/caregiver, your natural instinct is to provide support for your child, although knowing the "what" or "how" is not always clear. All behavior communicates something. Whether it is a skill deficit, learned pattern, or underlying symptom, determining what lies behind the behavior is the first step to supporting it. You bring the experience as the parent and together we will determine the "what," "why," and "how."
I am Dr. Carly Bobal, a licensed psychologist and owner of Behind the Behavior Psychology, PLLC. I specialize in working with young children, teens, and parents in understanding what lies behind behavior to best help support it. To do so, I rely on a collaborative approach with families to comprehensively assess child strengths and support areas of need.
Whether you need therapeutic support for your child, answers, or are simply looking for strategies to help your family navigate a new life stage, you will leave our time together with a better understanding of what your child’s behavior is really communicating and have a tailored action plan to support your family’s needs. Let's team up!
