Therapeutic Approach
Dr. Pettigrew combines a cognitive-behavioral approach with a family-centered, attachment-based perspective. She draws on her extensive experience to determine which therapeutic interventions will be most helpful for your child or adolescent.
Her approach is always guided by the developmental age and interests of your child. Where appropriate, play therapy and other hands-on activities (such as art) may be incorporated into treatment sessions.
Dr. Pettigrew is happy to consult with other professionals involved in your child's life, including teachers, physicians, and other healthcare providers, to ensure a coordinated approach to care.
