The Family Clinic at Restore Therapy
T
he Family Clinic at Restore is designed specifically for families who are ready to commit to learning how to use and practice Collaborative Problem Solving® (CPS) as a parenting philosophy to reduce stress and have the relationship their heart desires with their children.
The twelve session therapy model blends science and years of clinical experience in Collaborative Problem Solving® approach. Therapists in the Family Clinic have been trained specifically in the CPS method and have extensive working experience with families.
The Family Clinic Model
Use of Collaborative Problem Solving® at the Family Clinic begins with a comprehensive family assessment of the strengths and skills of the family. With a combination of scales and a structured interview, the CPS therapist tailors a plan for the next 11 sessions that meet the family where they are at.
Sessions 2 and 3 are a balance of the parents learning the CPS approach and the therapist understanding the problems to solve from both the parents’ and youth’s perspective.
In session 4, the family meets together to set direction and goals.
Sessions 5-8 involve modeling and coaching of the main intervention of the CPS approach.
In sessions 9-12, the therapist and family implement, assess and perfect their use of CPS skills at home. Clinical scales are used to measure progress and give feedback.
After the program is complete, parents and children will feel empowered with enhanced skill sets to routinely navigate problem solving and problem behaviors. CPS "booster sessions" or telehealth coaching can be offered if needed. It is recommended that parents attend the CPS parenting group to provide a strong foundation in the approach prior to starting family therapy.
Your child or teen builds skills like frustration tolerance, flexibility, and problem solving, while helping you as a parent strengthen those same skills.
