Individual Therapy Sessions
Here at Social Interventions, our psychotherapist use CBT, Social Thinking curriculum, play-based therapy, and other established methods to promote positive outcomes for your individual challenges.
Appointments are billed at $200 per 50-minute session. Our rates are competitive and we are willing to work with you to make treatment possible.
At this time we do not bill directly to insurance companies, however we will produce an itemized bill which can be submitted for reimbursement.
Social Group Sessions
Social Groups are a unique part of what we do. Groups allow your child to develop real and lasting friendships with other children in a safe and welcoming space. We utilize Social Thinking Strategies (www.socialthinking.com), hands-on activities, constructed and impromptu opportunities to introduce, develop, and master social interactions. Each session begins with an introduction/circle time, then moves into gross motor play time, snack time, and finally sit-down lesson time. Parents are debriefed at the end of each weekly meeting to promote carry-over of the lesson to home.
Groups are typically 3-6 children with a 1:2 staff to kids ratio, the staffs are trained to supervise, prompt, and encourage social skills. Individual goals are created for each child and progress is monitored weekly. Sessions generally follow the school calendar with Spring, Summer, and Fall sessions offered. Groups meet once per week for an hour. Each meeting is $115 per scessions, (please note if your child is a regional center client, were in the process of setting up vendorization for group) and includes snack, craft supplies, and trained staff. Group therapy is billed as an aggregate.
Family Therapy Sessions
Our psychotherapist provide psychological treatments to families to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen interpersonal relationships. Appointments are billed at $200 per 50-minute session.
