Understanding Oppositional Defiant Disorder

At Healing Tree, we understand that Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) presents a unique challenge to both parents and therapists. Unlike other behavioral conditions, ODD is characterized by a persistent pattern of defiant, disobedient, and hostile behaviors towards authority figures. It's not simply about a child being difficult; it’s about a consistent pattern that disrupts daily life and can strain relationships. Our approach at Healing Tree Psychiatric Servicesis designed to address these challenges head-on, using a range of evidence-based treatment recommendations that are both empathetic and effective.
