Ann Dillard

I help teens to regain their confidence and trust in the adults in their lives. I work with them to instill hope and renewed self-worth. Psychotherapy is offered in a face to face setting as well as through the online telehealth process. As a result of working with me, teens are more productive. They are more accountable. They complete the tasks that they start. They have improved academic performance and they have better attitudes.

I offer a twelve-week support group, with curriculum. I work closely with parents to study specific areas of discipline, increase their parenting skills, help navigate these challenges. My approach is strength based and culturally responsive. I help parents assess their current situation, make relationship goal, and develop and execute an action plan to meet those goals. Most importantly, parents realize that they are not alone and they feel supported. In the Immigrant Parent Support Group, parents are informed about different areas of the American culture, particularly; positive discipline, navigating the school system, and staying connected with their children. Both groups have a set curriculum to follow because we respect your time and your commitment to raising your teenager.

I typically work in K-12 school settings, but may also be hired by parents to advise children on colleges and private schools. My scope of consulting work also includes inclusion of culturally responsive care in child care and early childhood settings. I work with clients to gain clarity and develop strategies that empower them to reach their goals.
