Mrs.
Breslow has recently been trained as a COLLABORATIVE
DIVORCE COACH , a PARENT COORDINATOR , a DIVORCE
MEDIATOR, and an EXECUTIVE COACH. She has also had
advanced training at the Family Therapy Institute of
Washington, D.C., and at the Brief Family Therapy Center
in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Mrs. Breslow formerly worked at the Frost School and
Counseling Center for 12 years, where she worked with
parents and emotionally impaired students. She
currently serves as a divorce coach and child specialist
for collaborative divorce cases, a parent coordinator
for couples who are already divorced and who need
continuing support in order to reach agreement, as well
as counseling clients in her private psychiatric
practice. She also serves as an executive coach,
helping managers and their employees to improve working
relationships and increase productivity.
Mrs. Breslow specializes in Solution-Focused Brief
Therapy, and for many years she has trained school
counselors, hospital social work staffs, medical
students, and social work students in the
Washington/Baltimore area. She has taught this
technique over the past several years at Bryn Mawr
School of Social Work. The interview process used
in the solution-focused technique is particularly well
suited for the collaborative coaching process
and for executive coaching , as it helps
individuals to reach agreement in a shorter time by
helping them to focus on the positive rather than the
negative. Clients often believe that deep-seated
problems require long-term therapy. They are always
surprised that with my technique they can achieve the
same effective results as with long-term therapy in a
fraction of the time.
