Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know my child needs therapy?
First, look for persistent changes in mood, behavior, or academic performance. If your child doesn’t normally cry a lot and you suddenly see a lot of crying, you’re seeing a change in mood. If your child is getting in arguments more often, this is a sign they are under stress and could use someone to talk to.
What should I expect during a therapy session?
Content of a therapy session will depend on your child’s concerns and age. The younger the child, the more actively involved the caregiver will be in the sessions. Often child therapy sessions will involve play of some sort because kids have difficulty engaging in talk by itself. Often child therapy sessions will include learning and practicing coping strategies and other skills like problem-solving, emotion identification, communication, etc.
What role do I have to play in my child’s treatment?
We strongly believe that therapy only works for children if the caregivers are engaged and on board. For kids younger than 10, caregivers are usually involved in every session to some extent – either in the room the whole time or joining for at least 15 minutes of session to plan for how to practice the skills/support their child during the week ahead. For those older than 10 our approach depends more on the individual child, with some caregivers asked to join every week and some participating in parent-only sessions once per month or so.
