Consultation with Parents
Abbie provides
- Consultation for parents whose child is in treatment with me or elsewhere
- Professional advocacy, representing parents with in-patient and out-patient treatment teams
- Mentoring for parents of child patients who are in any stage of eating disorder diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.
As a consultant for parents, Abigail educates and supports parents in their efforts to support their recovering child. Abigail helps parents define their ever-changing role in their child's recovery and solve problems that may occur throughout the treatment process; she functions as a representative for parents with the child's outpatient or inpatient treatment teams which may not be functioning at full effectiveness, and intervenes with schools or hospitals to help parents manage and accommodate their child's complex and changing needs.
Abigail also offers
- Telephone consultation and psychotherapy
- Intensive treatment services to out-of-town patients and their families who choose to travel to Illinois for daily, week-end, week-long or longer consultation/therapy stays. Accommodations for both long and short-term stays are readily available near-by on Chicago's north shore.
