Virtual Teletherapy Appointments
for Parents and Children in NC
Now Is The Perfect Time to Get Started
Even before Corona hit you were starting to question whether you and your child might need help. The little outbursts, tears over making mistakes, and constant clinginess were starting to feel overwhelming. Now with the added stress of having lived through a global pandemic your child’s little outbursts have morphed into big meltdowns. On top of that, you are also feeling drained by the impact of the pandemic. As social restrictions lift you struggle to balance family time, social activities, and your child’s increased dependence on screens. You have tried to figure out how to make changes that work but all of the advice in the parenting books that are piled on your bedside table just leaves you feeling guilty and overwhelmed.
My name is Amanda Zaidman and I am an expert at helping parents understand what their children need most in order to thrive. I specialize in supporting children as they learn how to handle uncomfortable emotions. I also love helping parents learn how to find calm during stressful moments so that it becomes easier to parent with intention. The parents I work with share that their children feel heard and that they feel grateful for the insight they gain about their kids.
If you have found your way to my site you are a motivated parent who is ready to take the next step in supporting your child and strengthening your relationship. Part of you might be wondering if you even have the time or energy to dig into this work but your gut is telling you that your child needs extra support now. The great news is that I am able to help your family right away. If the pandemic and social distancing taught us anything it is the importance of carving out time to focus on what matters most. This is the time to invest in getting help for your child. My ability to offer you virtual appointments means I can work with you and your child conveniently in the space you feel most comfortable – your home.
Constructive Parenting Offers Virtual Therapy
Over the past few years you and your child have become comfortable and familiar with using virtual technology to accomplish just about everything. If you or your child are struggling during this time with anxiety or other challenging emotions teletherapy is a great option!
I offer virtual teletherapy appointments for new and existing clients in North Carolina using HIPAA compliant telemedicine platforms that are as easy to use as skype or facetime.
ONLINE PARENTING SESSIONS
Parents love the flexibility that virtual appointments give them, and the success I see is equivalent to the results from face-to-face sessions. Even prior to social distancing the parents I work with loved being able to squeeze in an online counseling session during their lunch break without having to leave the office. During this time when families are trying to spend as much time as possible at home, virtual appointments just make sense.
TELETHERAPY FOR ADULTS
I am passionate about working with adults who want to understand their familiar patterns so they can embrace a more fulfilling life. Using Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing and Brain Spotting approaches I provide a safe space for my clients to get to know the parts of themselves that become easily triggered. How is this related to parenting? Clients who work with me learn how to parent themselves from the inside out. As a result my clients have a stronger connection with themselves and they are able to strengthen their mindful connections with their children and partners.
VIDEO SESSIONS FOR TEENS AND TWEENS
Using a virtual platform is second nature for teens and tweens and it can often be even more comfortable than in person visits. Virtual appointments only require a private space and a screen with an internet connection. Parents should be available for participation during the video therapy session as needed. Adolescents are familiar with connecting online and often feel even more at ease when they are in the comfort of their own home than in a therapist’s office building.
TELETHERAPY FOR KIDS
Constructive Parenting, PLLC also offers remote play-therapy sessions for children. Children are often very familiar with using digital devices to communicate with grandparents and cousins who live far away. When it comes to meeting with a therapist for online therapy using virtual technology, they are better prepared than some adults may realize.
Teletherapy for young children who need support can take several forms. One-on-one parenting sessions are an important part of the work. Once a foundation is set with the parenting session, later sessions with both parents and children together are an excellent opportunity for parents to practice new skills with the support of your therapist virtually present in your home.
I will also work directly with your child utilizing toys, art supplies, and recycled materials you have in your home to achieve the same results I get doing play therapy in my office. I will work with you to come up with a custom plan that fits your family so that meaningful work can take place.
My Virtual Office
I love using my virtual office as a tool to help children access the skills they need to cope with difficult emotions. I use the screen share feature in Google Meets to allow kids to access clickable elements that link to games, art features, mindfulness activities and more.
