Foster Care - Silver Spring, Maryland

Children in Out of Home Placement:

When there is abuse or neglect, child welfare agencies may separate children and adolescents from their families and place them with relatives or in foster care.  These children often need help adjusting to the myriad of changes in their lives.

The primary goal of therapeutic intervention is to help the children feel safe and loved.  In order to achieve this goal, Dr. Frank involves foster families, birth families and other caregivers as integral parts of the therapeutic work. 

Dr. Frank offers individual and family therapies addressing the multiple needs of children living in out of home placement.  Some areas addressed in therapy may include:

  • adjustment to out of home placement, family visits, new caregivers, new school
  • preparation for reunification and re-adjustment to family life
  • behavior management specifically designed for traumatized children
  • preparation for adoption
  • coping and communication skills
