Therapy For Children

It’s hard to give a specific timeline for therapy, since each situation is so different, but our goal is to help your child feel better as quickly as possible. Some situations can be resolved in as little as a few sessions, while others take months of consistent therapy to make progress. Children who have strong and consistent support outside of therapy may see results in less time.

During the first session, we will do an initial assessment to gather information about your child’s history, concerns, and goals. We may ask questions about your child’s development, family dynamics, and any specific challenges they are facing, and will explain the therapeutic process, discuss confidentiality, and answer any questions you have. This session allows us to understand your child’s needs better and create a plan that works best for you and your child.

Creating a nurturing and understanding environment at home can help your child thrive through the therapy process. You can reinforce therapy goals and strategies by practicing recommended techniques, providing opportunities for open expression of feelings, and encouraging healthy coping skills. Actively engaging in conversations with your child and therapist allows you to share observations, concerns, and progress updates. By maintaining consistent and supportive routines, being responsive to your child’s needs, and actively participating in their therapeutic journey, you can play a vital role in supporting their progress.
