Behavior Therapy Services

  • Dr. Kinnear is the only certified PCIT therapist in Parker County, and one of only a few in the larger DFW metroplex area. 

    Provided to children under the age of 7. Older children may be considered for this treatment on a case-by-case basis.

  • Dr. Kinnear has specific training in the treatment of SM and is experienced in delivering effective services for this population.  She has helped many find their brave voice across settings and with new communication partners.

    Dr. Kinnear will travel up to 90 minutes each direction, if direct support is needed in the school/daycare.   Direct school support requires a 2 hour minimum session, plus travel fees.

    Note: Children older than 9 years of age may be seen with an SM diagnosis, on a case by case basis.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on supporting adaptive thinking and works to build individual coping skills to face challenging situations. CBT is used within Kinnear Child Psychology to assist children with decreasing anxiety across many areas (e.g. sleep, talking to others, separation, specific fears, etc.). Parents support their child by reinforcing skills at home and by working with the therapist to create systematic goals toward facing anxiety.

  • Advanced Intensives will be considered for children that complete the initial course of treatment.  Advanced intensives include community-based outings lasting at least 2-3 hours.  Sessions target more complex communication, for a longer period of time, in a natural setting with peers and/or adults.
