 Neurosequential Model: Assessment &consultation

The Neurosequential Model is a developmentally informed, biologically respectful approach to understanding and treating the effects of trauma on child development. This model was developed by neuroscientist and child psychiatrist, Dr. Bruce Perry, in order to address the complex impact of trauma on the developing brain.  The model is not a specific therapeutic technique,  but rather a framework that helps clinicians organize a child's history of trauma and assess their current functioning.  A thorough history of trauma, neurodevelopment,  relational history and current functioning  are reviewed by the clinician and treatment recommendations are made. 

​

Holly has been a tranier of the Neurosequential Model for many years and has worked directly with Dr. Perry and his team extensively. Holly offers assessments and recommendations based on the Neurosequential Model. Please inquire for more information and find out if the Neurosequential Model is the right fit for you and your child/family.
