Cultivating Social-Emotional Health for Life-long Wellbeing
Cultivating Social-Emotional Health for Life-long Wellbeing
Naturally, we can expect to encounter challenges along the way as part of typical development. At times, however, a problem might emerge that becomes chronic, or that begins to significantly interfere with daily life. We can take heart in knowing that young brains are at a constant rate of change and there is always much that we can do to help. We must also know that a young person's ability to cope with stress throughout the early years can have life-long mental health consequences. As such, an expert's viewpoint upon early signs of problems may be crucial to assess needs and to offer recommendations.
When questions arise about a young person's emotional, behavioral, or social development, Dr. Tani's expertise in psychological assessment and treatment can serve as a valuable resource.
Dr. Tani is a Board Certified Psychologist offering therapy, counseling, consultation and evaluation/assessment services.

After two to four sessions, treatment goals and benchmarks are collaboratively identified and periodically reviewed to assess progress. To achieve these goals and benchmarks, an active role and the carrying out of the agreed-upon recommendations are necessary.
