ODD Therapy
Helps individuals and families understand and address behaviors associated with ODD, such as persistent defiance, frequent temper outbursts, and hostility toward authority figures
What is Oppositional Defiant Disorder Therapy?
ODD Therapy is a structured therapeutic approach that helps individuals and families understand and address behaviors associated with ODD, such as persistent defiance, frequent temper outbursts, and hostility toward authority figures.
This therapy not only supports individuals in managing symptoms but also equips parents with effective tools through Parent Management Training (PMT), a research-based method proven to improve family dynamics and reduce challenging behaviors.
Understanding Parent Management Training (PMT)
Parent Management Training (PMT) is a key part of ODD therapy that focuses on training parents and caregivers to respond to difficult behaviors in constructive, effective ways.
PMT involves learning techniques for setting clear expectations, reinforcing positive behaviors, and managing misbehavior without escalating conflict.
By empowering parents with these skills, PMT creates a more structured, supportive environment that encourages positive behavior changes and reduces stress for the entire family.
Common Symptoms of Oppositional Defiant Disorder
Individuals with ODD may display signs such as irritability, frequent arguments, refusal to follow rules, and resentment toward authority figures.
These behaviors can disrupt home life, relationships, and school or work performance.
Recognizing these symptoms early and engaging in therapy can help reduce the impact of ODD on family relationships and personal well-being.
How ODD Therapy and PMT Can Help Your Family
Our ODD Therapy combines individual-focused techniques with PMT to provide comprehensive support for the entire family.
Sessions focus on developing communication skills, learning problem-solving strategies, and establishing positive reinforcement systems.
PMT sessions specifically help parents manage challenging behaviors, reinforcing healthy habits and reducing conflict.
With teletherapy, families can participate in sessions from home, making it easier to stay consistent with treatment.
