Scott’s expertise is in providing parents, teachers, counselors, and other adults with expert information and innovative strategies for solving the everyday problems children face from early childhood through adolescence. If your kids are having trouble, and you are searching for answers and solutions to make their life and your life better ~ you need Scott on your side!
He’s often asked what kind of child counselor or therapist he is … he’ll tell you, “I’m the best, but I’m very humble about it!” His humor aside, what they really want to know can be summed up below:
The tools he uses are commonly referred to as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, or CBT for short. Scott’s behavioral treatment approach addresses the specific problem behaviors you are facing with your children and helps you solve them. He teaches you, and your child or teen, new ways of behaving and new, more effective ways of thinking (which translates into new and more effective and way better ways of behaving!). This translates into you getting the results you want to see with your children. Over his exciting career he has honed his skills and created what he calls "Slightly Off the Wall Parenting." His exclusive approach blends CBT with his unique style of finding fun and clever ways to help kids learn and grow and remember.
Scott helps you establish structure, predictability, and routines in your family. He teaches you how to reward and increase the behaviors you want, such as following directions, and eliminate the behaviors you don’t, such as not turning in their homework. At the same time, he shows you how to talk with your kids, give them directions, and learn what to do and how to respond when they do follow directions and also when they don’t.
Bottom line is … he’s a talented child behaviorist that becomes your Personal Parenting Resource Coach …
training you on how to live a life filled with more joy and peace and fun while becoming the confident and loving parent you’ve always wanted to be. Scott is the Orange County Child Counselor you want on your side.
