Additional Support
Personalized Care and Guidance
I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among patients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. Since opening the doors of my clinic in 2000, I have provided patients in the greater San Francisco area a wide range of mental health services. From small scale circumstances, to traumatic experiences - my services are personalized to suit everyone’s needs.
Co-Parenting
Being a Foster Parent
Cooperative Co-parenting after Divorce groups, couples, and individuals
Divorce or separation produces many unrecognized or unwelcome feelings and issues. Too often these issues prolong or continue the marital conflicts well past the finalization of divorce. When children are involved, it is particularly important that these conflicts do not impact the child’s ability to enjoy a healthy relationship with both parents. Cooperative co-parenting helps take the weight of past issues off the child by helping parents understand the true source of conflict.
Foster Parent Support Group
We offer an opportunity for foster parents to come and confidentially discuss their concerns and struggles. From experience we know that foster parents are reluctant to share their concerns with their case managers out of fear of losing their child or not having new children place in the home. It is a realistic fear in that agencies are tasked with the responsibility of maintaining stability in the home.
Yes, we know that living with a foster child 24 hours a day 7 days a week without any real break places an undue burden on foster parents. This support group is 100% confidential. We do not report to, nor do we align with any agencies. Therefore you can talk about your personal concerns, your family stresses, your frustrations with the agencies, or any other issues.
​
The power of a group exists in the synergy that comes with multiple perspectives and experiences. Our group facilitator spent 20 years as a therapeutic foster parent, as a agency director, and as a caseworker. He helps struggling foster parents by offering insight and understanding. In addition, our expertise in assessing and treating compassion fatigue will help you too reduce the likelihood of both burn out and judgment errors which can lead to disciplinary actions, even to help prevent unnecessary allegations.
