How do I talk to my child about going to therapy?
Depending on your child’s age, I typically recommend that you explain therapy as a safe place to go to play, to talk, and to sort out all sorts of feelings. I always encourage a parent to sit in for at least the first 10-15 minutes of the initial therapy session, so your child can feel comfortable. In my experience, most children and teens are okay sitting with me alone after that, but it is a case-by-case decision.

How can therapy help me?
Therapy is a fantastic way to manage problems in your life, uncomfortable feelings, issues stemming from trauma, and/or interpersonal relationship distress. The beauty of the process is that everyone’s therapy sessions look different and are cultivated to fit the individual. I provide a fresh perspective and aim to empower you to look within to become the best version of “you.”

How can therapy help my child?
Child therapy and teen therapy help your child to garner a better understanding of their experience in the world, their role in the family, how to understand feelings, and how to utilize coping skills to facilitate growth. Your child does not need a diagnosis to benefit from therapy; however, children with ADHD, depression, or anxiety often do benefit from extra support.
