Todd T. Kellogg, MA, MA, LMFT
Mr. Kellogg is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has worked in the field of disabilities since 1994 and in December 2001, established a private practice that is currently based in Trumbull, CT. Mr. Kellogg specializes in providing Structural Family & Behavior Therapy to resolve challenging behaviors in children both at home and in school, to build a partnership between home and school, to increase parenting skills, and to work on relationship issues within families that have members with special needs. The focus of treatment is often the development and implementation of a Positive Behavior and Parenting Plan (PBPP) to address difficult behaviors while teaching new skills and promoting alternative behaviors. The therapy process can include Functional Assessments, School Consultations, Family Therapy, Individual Therapy, and Parent Coaching (instruction and modeling of parenting strategies during peak times of difficult behavior).
