How We Treat
Dr. Bellet’s Parenting Center
PARENTING SUPPORT AND COACHING is provided at BHBA and can increase therapy outcomes for children and adolescents. By using simple behavioral strategies, parents can increase the behaviors they want, decrease behaviors they don't want and reduce conflict and power struggles, resulting in improved family relations. Associates at BHBA provide parent coaching and have advanced training in Parent Management Training (PMT).
At BHBA, we offer SPACE training for parents and children. SPACE 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. Many therapists at BHBA are trained in this modality. For more information, check out the SPACE website, https://www.spacetreatment.net/
Parent Management Training has been developed by Dr. Alan E. Kazdin to help parents with the everyday challenges of childrearing. Two features make the information we provide unique. First, we discuss and provide concrete techniques—tools—you can use in the home to develop positive behaviors in your children. Second, the techniques draw on what has been learned from decades of research on how to use these techniques so they actually change behavior. Therapists at BHBA are trained in this modality as well.
