Executive Functioning Coaching
​

The Therapists at PVD Psychological Associates specialize in working with adolescents and college students. We provide executive functioning coaching to students presenting for treatment with difficulty managing their responsibilities at school. This coaching is provided as an adjunct to therapy or on its own. Of note, coaching is not therapy and therefore is not billable to insurance.
Children and adolescents may be struggling with adjusting to a new school environment or may be experiencing behavioral issues secondary to anxiety, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD), or learning differences. We see many students in high pressure environments who are struggling with perfectionism, time management, stress management, and social adjustment. We also work with students to navigate the college application process.
In addition to providing this coaching (as an adjunct to therapy or on its own) in our office, we offer concierge coaching services and can meet with our clients — in the privacy of their home, dorm room, or office — by video, in order to help with the application of skills and strategies. This can be helpful for logistical reasons, in the beginning of therapy as an adjunct, during exam periods, during the college application process, and as periodic booster sessions to maintain progress after discontinuing therapy. In some cases, we will come to your home or office for these sessions.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy, also known as insight-oriented therapy, focuses on unconscious processes as they are manifested in a person’s present behavior. The goals of  psychodynamic therapy  are a client’s self-awareness and understanding of the influence of the past on present behavior. ​Whether it be a long term problem or temporary life circumstance prompting someone to seek therapy, we understand that every individual client, session, and situation is unique. Our therapists have expertise in specific modalities of therapy and utilize cutting edge, evidence-based therapy techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, motivational interviewing (MI), mindfulness strategies, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). We often integrate a variety or techniques which lend themselves to both time-limited and long-term therapy. We believe it is best to not only address symptoms in the here and now and creat...
