During the consult, one or both parents (or any primary caregiver) meet with a clinician to discuss concerns and develop a plan to address problem areas and increase family functioning. The clinician will provide psychoeducation about the child’s developmental needs and offer evidence-based strategies to support parents as they navigate their family’s needs. Parenting consults are brief (typically 2 to 4 sessions) and target specific goals. These consultations are ideal for parents who are unsure of where to start in seeking help or whose child is unable to get in to see a mental health professional due to long waitlists in the community. In some cases, the clinician may recommend additional treatment and/or assessment. Parenting consults can help with: Disruptive behaviors (tantrums, acting out) Sleep disturbances Picky eating Potty training Attention and learning difficulties Managing screen time Sibling rivalry If you are interested in scheduling a parenting consultation, please email info@brightsparkrva.com. https://www.brightsparkrva.com/therapy daily 0.75 2021-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847904871-IJY33BXSJQA0OIFROI1H/image-asset.jpeg Therapy - Therapy Services We offer outpatient therapy services for all ages. Appointments can be in-person or via Telehealth. The initial therapy appointment will be used to gather background information about you/your child and for the therapist to learn more about your concerns and goals. During this appointment, you will make a plan with your therapist that outlines how you will work together towards your goals. This plan will include education on the kinds of strategies that may be helpful for you. As you work together, you and your therapist will decide how often therapy meetings should occur (weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc.). If you are interested in working with a specific therapist, please email them directly. If you are open to working with any of our therapists, please email info@brightsparkrva.com to inquire about availability. https://www.brightsparkrva.com/evaluation daily 0.75 2025-06-26 https://www.brightsparkrva.com/fees daily 0.75 2026-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Fees https://www.brightsparkrva.com/sleep-consultation daily 0.75 2025-05-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60881e42c742ff27475c3ca8/1646835873821-V67P7YR9UHY69KE6S4K5/unsplash-image-X3DZ1c7MPa4.jpg Sleep Consultation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60881e42c742ff27475c3ca8/1646836645883-MJ4NK4ACICPRQYGHZYTE/unsplash-image-b1NsVYklP6g.jpg Sleep Consultation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60881e42c742ff27475c3ca8/1646836709966-6UBCEPHUNKUFDSRAF4U0/unsplash-image-HSy0QXIRafg.jpg Sleep Consultation https://www.brightsparkrva.com/our-team daily 0.75 2026-02-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60881e42c742ff27475c3ca8/1633082270895-Q9KU70B96CEMPY1ZWZPQ/09_30_2021_0457.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60881e42c742ff27475c3ca8/1633082258874-WACZ48KTF6HAIDFTLU4W/09_30_2021_0040.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60881e42c742ff27475c3ca8/1633082242810-AUBK6Y2OBWULW288JELD/09_30_2021_0393.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60881e42c742ff27475c3ca8/1654696334938-868Z57HREWRG9I2FT2VV/06_07_2022_0032-Edit.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60881e42c742ff27475c3ca8/1658167011387-A1FG61P01F26P2PL3U2X/06_10_2022_0060-3.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60881e42c742ff27475c3ca8/62c024dd-1ecc-4b08-b15a-ce11630e9512/Strickland-Edit+copy2.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60881e42c742ff27475c3ca8/fee38d80-dbd7-4d69-85a7-72132ad24665/IMG_3753+copy.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60881e42c742ff27475c3ca8/b1f9d45a-880d-4d75-820a-e29de8270bc4/04_22_2025_0037.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60881e42c742ff27475c3ca8/6e625158-d55b-4d07-b016-d75a1d3ed43b/IMG_8945-2.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60881e42c742ff27475c3ca8/c21493e0-e030-4c91-98a8-3d8d5750735d/stasia.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60881e42c742ff27475c3ca8/1622033191340-WZCC86Y4DMC13J1V1JCW/COMING-SOON.jpeg Our Team https://www.brightsparkrva.com/claire-flansburg daily 0.75 2025-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60881e42c742ff27475c3ca8/1633082270895-Q9KU70B96CEMPY1ZWZPQ/09_30_2021_0457.jpg Claire Flansburg - Claire Flansburg, PhD Office Location: 9025 Forest Hill Ave Suite 2A Click here to send an email to Dr. Flansburg Click here to join your Telehealth appointment with Dr. Flansburg https://www.brightsparkrva.com/rachel-gladstone daily 0.75 2025-06-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60881e42c742ff27475c3ca8/346e52aa-8988-4a3f-9107-f51539e04cd3/06_10_2022_0060-3.jpg Rachel Gladstone - Rachel Gladstone, M.Ed., M.S.
