During her time at Lurie Children's Hospital Danielle learned the evidence-based FAST-B and Incredible Years programs. She integrates them here to provide families a faster version of what works.
The First Approach Skills Training Program (FAST-B) is a research protocol that reduces emotional dysregulation and meltdowns while increasing listening up to 90%. Danielle coaches parents and tailors the program to their child in fewer than 4 sessions.
For anxious kids, we coach parents using Supportive Parenting Through Anxious Childhood Emotions (S.P.A.C.E.). S.P.A.C.E. was developed by Dr. Eli Lebowitz at the Yale Child Study Center and has been tested and found to be efficacious in randomized controlled clinical trials.
Parents who participate in SPACE will learn skills and tools to help their child overcome anxiety, OCD or related problems.
The treatment focuses on changes that parents can make to their own behavior, they do not need to make their child change. S.P.A.C.E. averages about 4 sessions with parents before individual work with the child begins.
Did you know one scary or painful experience can result in years of kiddos not wanting to poop in the toilet? Danielle has a decade of experience of using behavioral strategies that ease a child into wanting to use the toilet. This parent training program will help you help your child.
Having an outside therapist can be helpful in advocating for the full accommodations and modifications your child deserves. Danielle has ten years' of experience as a school social worker and her Type 73. She will consult with the school as well as attend your child's IEP or 504 meeting. Consult with school $150/ 30 min. IEP Meeting $350.
At SuperKids Chicago we treat:
BCBS PPO is accepted for child therapy. If you have a different insurance, we provide you with a superbill to submit for reimbursement. Our families have great success getting reimbursement out-of-network. Intake child therapy session $200. All other sessions: $150 with Phil and $200 with Danielle. Reduced cost and pro bono therapy offered to those in financial crisis.
Parent coaching sessions are not accepted by insurance as they are not child therapy. Parent coaching is $300 for the first session and $200 thereafter. Families average only 3 sessions before seeing over 60%-90% improvement (based on parent reporting) and a "happier, calmer home"!
