[Neuro Emotional Technique] practitioner since January 2024. Finally, Camille uses Equine Assisted Therapy and therapy using an office dog and bird.

 

She specializes in working with children and families and improving the relationship between them. Her office is designed to promote emotional and mental well-being in children and to improve parenting and communication skills with caregivers. Camille works with adults and couples with a focus on aligning positive mental thoughts with emotional self-regulation to promote personal harmony and happiness. This approach is affective for reducing anxiety, depression, reducing symptoms of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD, ADHD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and treating serious disorders and physical, emotional or sexual trauma. Finally, Camille’s practice promotes whole body well-being and nutritional support.

Camille has specialized training with high conflict blended families to support the community at the family level. Divorce is so hard on parents, that often one parent will either cause children to unjustifiably disrespect another parent, or one parent can be toxic and the children can be naturally estranged from that parent, a justified break in the relationship.

When relationships do not work, Camille offers divorce mediation to promote a return to well-being when the marriage ends. This approach is particularly designed to help parents work with children when one home becomes two homes. This focus reduces confusion, anxiety, and tensions for the couple and the children as they begin a new life. She works with an attorney offering a special rate to couples with or without children and who are agreeing to a non-contested approach to settling their differences. This process causes harmony between the two houses and for all members of the family.

She accepts self-payment at $255.
