Individual and Family Therapy
Dr. Garver’s therapeutic approaches are solution-focused, geared towards the abilities of the client/families and toward incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral therapy, and/or integrative approaches driven by the needs and goals of the client, group and/or families. She serves clients of all ages -- under 5 through adults.
Collaborative Divorce Services
The Collaborative Practice provides a divorcing couple with the support and guidance of their own individual lawyers without going to court. Included in a collaborative team is a mental health coach or coaches, a financial specialist and possibly, a child specialist. The collaborative practice approach helps to negotiate a mutually accepted resolution without having court decide issues. As a Collaborative Divorce Mental Health Coach, Dr. Garver helps clients through utilizing effective problem-solving and communication techniques to resolve disputes calmly, with dignity and respectfully, within this supportive team format. Dr. Garver also provides time and space for my client to tell their story, to be validated and to help process and identify stressful and conflicting issues.
If functioning as a child specialist within the collaborative team, Dr. Garver can offer a constructive way of including the voice of the child or adolescent of divorcing parents. The Child Specialist gathers information about the child’s emotional state and experience, and brings that information for use in a collaborative process. The child specialist role is not a therapist or an advocate or a custody evaluator.
Psychoeducational Assessment
Assessment diagnostically examines learning challenges and strengths determining processing and academic difficulties impacting education and learning. Information ascertained will help formulate an intervention plan and determine strategies and supports to enhance personal growth. This assessment will answer the questions: “How best does my child learn? “And “What supports and viable resource options can enhance areas of need?”
