Collaborative Problem Solving
TM

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Laurie Simons MA, has completed Provider Certification Training in Collaborative Problem Solving TM.

The Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) SM approach was first featured in a ground breaking book called The Explosive Child, written by Ross W. Greene, Ph.D, 2001.

This approach has since been used successfully in families,schools, hospitals and juvenile correction settings to help children who have difficulty with transitions, or who are anxious, inflexible, aggressive or explosive.   The Cambridge Health Alliance (Cambridge Massachusetts) Child Assessment Unit has implemented this humane, trauma-sensitive approach in their in-patient child psychiatric unit since 2001.  The unit won the 2003 Psychiatric Services Award for Service Excellence from the American Psychiatric Association.
