Psychotherapy – Individual and/or Family
Dr. Osterling and our team of behavioral health professionals at WayThrough use the approach of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy. We offer guidance, counseling, and evidence-based interventions to support individuals’ emotional well-being. We focus on interventions that teach individuals how to identify their true underlying needs, desires, values, and goals, and how to communicate them effectively. We repeatedly promote prosocial behaviors and demonstrate how these are more effective at meeting needs than problem behaviors.
Coaching and Skill Building
Neurodivergent kids, teens, and adults often experience frustration or difficulty with executive functioning and look for support in their daily lives. Executive functioning includes emotion regulation, cognitive processing, time management, and communication with others. This is what allows individuals to engage in healthy relationships, build connections, and feel empowered. WayThrough helps individuals identify specific executive functioning goals and collaboratively develop a “wish list” of skills they want to gain, so they can feel confident and competent as they go through their day-to-day. By helping to pinpoint these goals, we empower individuals to feel more engaged in their own lives and develop relationships on their terms both inside and outside the home.
In-Home Support
WayThrough is committed to working with the entire family by helping develop support structures, routines, and systems that create stabilization. This instruction helps minimize conflict and maximize healthy functioning to promote the alignment of family needs and expectations.
School/Work Consultation and Advocacy
We work with parents, kids and whole families in their home to help them develop the skills, routines, structures, and systems that are needed to create stabilization. We are committed to working with parents in a way that conveys respect for their parental knowledge, experience, and authority.
