Our Story
Sometimes stuff happens that is out of our control. Kids especially can be affected by this. At Busy Bee Therapy, our goal is to provide kids and families with effective therapeutic interventions for a variety of issues. Although our specialty is trauma based services, we also provide treatment for mood and anxiety disorders as well.
Aside from therapeutic treatment, we also provide parenting services. We have a 3 month program that draws from a variety of sources, all couched within behaviorist model. However, as all families are different, we avoid a "one size fits all" mentality. Interventions, skills, and techniques are tweaked to specific family needs. It should be noted that if any therapeutic intervention is needed, this will be discussed with parents privately.
You may be wondering about me--what makes me qualified to do this? Well, I am a recent transplant to Florida from Colorado. I have a masters degree in Clinical Psychology, and two current, active licenses in Colorado: one as a Licensed Professional Counselor, and another as a Licensed Addictions Counselor. I am currently provisionally licensed in Florida as I finish the licensing process here. Until I moved to Florida, I was faculty at the University of Colorado Medical School in the Department of Pediatrics since 2009, and have been affiliated with the University of Colorado Hospital and Children's Hospital Colorado since 2007. I worked with the Kempe Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Child Abuse and Neglect from 2007 to 2014, and have experience working with families in crisis, who have experienced traumatic events, and parents who simply aren't sure where to go and what to do with children who are having difficulties. I will 100% brag about my colleagues at the medical school and hospitals--they were amazing, and the training I received in a variety of therapeutic interventions was among the best in the country--and I am grateful for it. I have been trained in such modalities as Child Parent Psychotherapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, play therapy, Safe Care, Safe Start, and others. Working at university and hospital settings allowed me to work with various community organizations and with a variety of families from different backgrounds and with various needs.
Working with families to improve the lives of children is something I am passionate about. I look forward to working with your family soon!
