You can do this from where you're at. While reading this, make a list of things you love about your best supervisor. Now make a list of things you hated about your worst supervisor. Barkley then asks parents to think about: What was it about your best supervisor that made them your best supervisor?

Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence based treatment for helping children and teens to work through traumatic events, including childhood physical and sexual abuse. This therapy was developed by Judith Cohen, Anthony Mannarino, and Esther Deblinger.
In the early part of therapy, while getting to know their therapist, children participating in TF-CBT learn relaxation training, how to identify different feelings, and the relationship between their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.Eventually, youth enrolled in TF-CBT complete a trauma narrative in which they talk about the abuse.

I felt compelled to leave a review because of the other review listed. Dr. Walker handled my VA appointment for PTSD. He was super kind and understanding. He explained everything that we would be discussing and on awkward questions, explained that the VA was asking, not him. He allowed for breaks and water. There is a sign on his door that says no weapons but that should be a given. Weapons shouldn't be brought into any psychiatric office. I hope others aren't turned away due to the one review below. If I could, I'd go back without hesitation.

If I could give a 0 stars I would. I was assigned Dr. Walker by the VA and he was rude from the start. I showed up 18 minutes before my scheduled appointment and was greeted with a disgruntled "HELLO" as I walked through the door. He asked for my ID, as required by the VA, and I provided it to him. First thing he said was, "Did you see the sign on the door? No weapons and you have a pocket knife". I said I would go put it in my car and come back but was told he needed to secure it and if I left I could not come back. I repeated I was 15 minutes early and would lock it in my car and come right back
