Common Questions About Individual Therapy for Young People
S
How long does children and family therapy take?
Every family's journey is unique. Some families see improvements in a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. We'll regularly review progress and adjust our approach as needed.
Will my child need to attend every session?
Not necessarily. Some sessions may be family-focused, others individual with your child, and some may be parent-only to develop strategies and provide support.
Do you work with very young children?
Yes, I work with children from early childhood through adolescence, using developmentally appropriate approaches including play therapy techniques for younger children.
What if my child doesn't want to come to therapy?
It's common for young people to feel hesitant about therapy initially. I use engaging, non-threatening approaches and always respect your child's pace and comfort level.
Do you provide school reports or assessments?
While I don't conduct formal psychological assessments, I can provide progress reports and recommendations that may support your child's educational needs when appropriate.
