Child & Adolescent Therapy FAQ

Will parents be involved in therapy?

It depends on the patient’s exact age and circumstances at hand. The patient and parents can express their intentions for parental involvement to their therapist early on, or the therapist can autonomously design a treatment plan that they believe is best suited for the patient’s well-being.

Will my child actually talk in therapy?

Our therapists use age-appropriate methods to encourage interaction in sessions such as play, activities, and creative expression that help children feel comfortable and consistently engaged.

Can therapy help with problems at school?

Yes. Therapy can support a child’s anxiety, attention concerns, emotional regulation, and social issues that affect school performance or functioning.

How do I know if my child needs counseling?

Changes in a child’s mood, behavior, school performance, sleep, or friendships can be indicative that a child could benefit from professional support.

Is therapy for serious behavioral problems only?

No. Therapy can help with more than just serious behavioral issues, including everyday emotional challenges, stress, self-esteem and confidence, and coping skills.
