Selective Mutism Therapy
Selective mutism is an anxiety disorder that causes children to become nonverbal in particular environments, such as school, despite exhibiting normal speech in more familiar settings like home. This disorder frequently co-occurs with social anxiety.
If left untreated, children may establish avoidance behaviors to minimize verbal communication. Unfortunately, this avoidance can be inadvertently reinforced over time as others begin to speak on their behalf, making it increasingly difficult to escape this cycle.
Through treatment, we have seen children make incredible strides in overcoming their selective mutism (SM), particularly the younger ones. Early intervention is strongly recommended.
Parent Coaching
Parent coaching sessions provide you with valuable tools to guide and support your child with their challenges, whether these sessions are used in conjunction with your child's therapy or as a stand-alone service.
For children with anxiety in particular, modifying parenting responses to encourage bravery and minimize avoidance can fundamentally change outcomes for your child, even without the child attending any therapy sessions. Parent coaching is available for your convenience in person in our NMB office or at your location via telehealth.
