Life is Complicated
There are no quick fixes to complex obstacles.
Artemis Parenting Solutions combines scientific methods with experience and compassion to maximize outcomes for parents and their children.
We all struggle.
Finding time to juggle the many responsibilities that come with raising a family is difficult. Maintaining a healthy balance of our roles as parent, spouse, employee, chef, maid, scheduler, activities coordinator, referee, transportation expert, and financial adviser is, itself, a full time job.
This chaos can create tremendous stress which easily manifests itself in unhealthy ways. Toddlers throw tantrums and teenagers isolate. Adults may resort to yelling, crying, escaping, or avoiding their feelings. Left unchecked, these behaviours can lead to anxiety and frustration which increases our stress.
‘Therapy’ doesn’t always help.
Treatment should equip us with coping skills, plans and the tools with which to analyze our mood in an objective manner. When a therapist assigned to work with a family cannot identify specific strategies or treatment modalities to implement, the mental health system has failed.
Many mental health providers favor “talk therapy” as a replacement for scientifically backed treatment and assessment tools. Psychology is defined as ‘a scientific study of mind and behavior.’ We need to demand more of the professionals we entrust with our families’ well being.
There are Solutions!
We have all felt overwhelmed but we are not alone! There are strategies that can help!
Artemis Parenting Solutions
Assessment
The most important first step is to clearly and accurately identify areas for improvement.
Most mental health providers rely on an informal interview to determine this information. This method often leads to inaccurate diagnosis, inappropriate treatment planning and lack of progress toward goals.
At Artemis, we use a scientific approach during assessment to accurately and objectively measure symptoms and severity to develop an accurate diagnosis and baseline level of functioning.
Treatment
Our goal is to bring harmony to the chaos in life so that your family can move forward together.
Now that we’ve clearly identified a foundation to build upon, together, we create a comprehensive treatment plan based both on our assessment data and your personal areas of concern.
Our treatments are based on therapy models proven to be effective over multiple studies and several years of extensive research.
Progress
Once we have a clear set of goals outlined in our treatment plan, it’s time to get to work!
Together, we track your family’s progress toward your goals. Using factual data based on your experiences we consistently reevaluate the treatment plan and modify it to meet your treatment goals.
We use scientifically tested methods and measurement tools combined with your experiences to help your family through difficulty and into understanding.
