How can I help?
Are problems with your child(ren) leaving you stressed, upset, frazzled, or overwhelmed? — If so, private sessions can be the fastest way to find stability and support.
If you are…
Struggling with tantrums, meltdowns, or power struggles
Noticing that your child gets overwhelmed or frustrated easily
Seeing excess worry, fear, or anxiety in your child
Trying to use emotionally supportive ways of setting limits, but they are not working
Recognizing that you have a highly sensitive child
Going through a major life change and wanting to help your child through the transition
…then we may be a fit for working together.
How does it work?
Start by giving me a call or sending me an email.
The purpose of this first contact will be to make sure I could be a good fit for what you’re looking for. If you have questions about my approach or philosophy, please click here. For info on pricing, please scroll down. If you have questions that aren’t answered on my website or would like to talk on the phone prior to scheduling an appointment, we can schedule that. Please note: if we connect on the phone before working together, the purpose would be for you to have an opportunity to determine if you would like to work together, versus a time to dive into specific situations (this, we do in an initial session.).
If you’re ready to move forward, we’ll schedule an introductory session.
In this first session, I’ll ask you more about what’s happening presently, gather background information, and learn more about your child’s personality and temperament. At the end of this session, I’ll give you my impressions, recommendations, and a few tools or techniques you can begin using right away. Even if you don’t continue working with me, you’ll leave this session with my professional opinion and recommendations. This session is 75 minutes and takes place via Zoom.
If you want to continue, we’ll establish meeting times, clarify goals, and begin helping you reach these.
After the initial session, we’ll define your goals and develop a working plan for how to reach them. All aspects of the plan will be individualized and custom tailored to work with your and/or your child’s natural strengths and temperament. We’ll take unique family and life circumstances into consideration and create a plan that will truly support you. These sessions are 55 minutes and take place via Zoom.
NOTE: For years, I worked directly with children. I now work with parents because I find that working this way brings relief to children and parents much more quickly. For more info on this, please see my Philosophy.
Pricing
Intake Session
75 MINUTES ($235/session)
These sessions take place online via Zoom.
I begin work with each new client with an intake session. In this session, I learn more about what is currently happening in your home, gather background information, learn about your or your child’s temperament, personality, and family relationship dynamics, and find out what you’ve already tried. At the end of this session, I’ll give you my impression, recommendations, and a few things you can try right away.
Even If we do not continue working together, after this session, you will have one set of professional impressions and recommendations.
Ongoing Sessions
55 MINUTES ($195/session)
These sessions are for established clients and take place via Zoom.
In these sessions, we find root causes of problems, address patterns that keep problems alive, and develop custom-tailored approaches to help you reach your personal or parenting goals.
Because I want you to meet your goals and experience breakthroughs and relief, and because making true change takes time, I highly recommend planning to meet weekly or bi-monthly for at least 4-6 sessions.
Many people find that meeting for 6-12 sessions on a weekly basis provides the support and feedback they need to change patterns and develop new ways of being. However, needs for length and duration of time spent together varies greatly between families and depending on needs and circumstances.
To book a session:
If we’ve not yet worked together, send me an email or call me, at 602-653-8048, to schedule your initial session.
*Payment for the first session must be received 24 hours prior to session start time. 24-hour cancellation policy applies.*
Past clients say…
“I can’t thank you enough for the positive impact you’ve made on my and my daughter’s life. We still use the techniques you taught us. My daughter is able to have a voice because of you.”
“Dr. Crawford helped me connect with my 3 year old daughter on such a deep level that I am certain our bond is lifelong. My child who is now almost 7 is thriving and happy. And I am a more nurturing parent and a better person as the result of the therapy we received with Dr. Crawford.”
“My wife and I sought out Sarah for guidance with our eldest daughter. While not medically diagnosed, we knew she was extremely sensitive and displayed characteristics of being an HSC. I immediately knew I would like Sarah. Walking into her office was very calming and the overall atmosphere was stress-free.
Sarah gave us ideas and duplicatable techniques to use every day, as needed. At no time did I feel like we were bad parents or had done something wrong, and Sarah’s continued reinforcement and encouragement has helped tremendously. I am very grateful for the time spent with her and highly recommend her.”
