Helping Your Child Thrive

What is Child and Teen Therapy?

Child therapy is a specialized form of mental health treatment designed to help children navigate emotional, behavioral, and developmental challenges. Whether your child is facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or difficulties in school, our compassionate approach creates a safe space for healing and growth.

Emotional Support

Children often struggle to express their feelings. Therapy provides them with the tools to understand and articulate their emotions.

Behavioral Management

Our therapists work with children to develop coping strategies and positive behaviors, helping to reduce issues like impulsivity, aggression, and withdrawal.

Through play-based therapy and structured activities, children learn essential life skills, including problem-solving, social interaction, and emotional regulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does therapy typically last?

    The duration of therapy varies based on the child’s needs, but many children benefit from a few months of regular weekly sessions.

  • Do I need to be involved in my child’s therapy?

    Parental involvement is often crucial. We encourage communication and collaboration to ensure the best outcomes for your child.

  • Can I come to the appointments?

    Yes, we encourage the parents to attend the initial appointment so the therapist can ask questions the child or teen may not be able to answer. The therapist will want to explain the diagnosis and treatment plan near the end of the initial appointment and answer any questions. The therapist may want to inform the parent(s) about the plan or homework for the week at the end of each session.

  • Will I be informed of how my child is doing?

    Yes, depending on your child’s age. If your child is under the age of 12 years old, you are allowed access to medical records, diagnosis, treatment plan, and progress in treatment. If your child is 12 years old or older, state and federal laws restrict parental access to certain information without the child’s consent.

  • How much will therapy cost?

    The cost of therapy can vary by insurance plan. We accept out-of-network benefits and self-pay if our therapist is not in-network with your insurance plan. If you would like more information, please contact our office.

  • Are you in network with my insurance?

    Our therapists are not in network with any Medicaid plans. Please contact our office to verify if our therapists are in network with your insurance carrier/plan.
