FAQs
What is individual therapy?
Individual therapy is a form of therapy where a child or adolescent works one-on-one with a licensed therapist. This personalized approach helps address specific emotional, behavioral, or mental health issues in a safe and supportive environment.
Signs that your child may benefit from therapy include significant changes in mood or behavior, difficulty coping with everyday activities, persistent sadness or anxiety, trouble with relationships, or any traumatic experiences. If you are unsure, our therapists can provide an initial assessment to determine if therapy is appropriate.
The first session typically involves an initial assessment where the therapist gathers information about the child’s history, current concerns, and goals for therapy. This session helps establish a rapport between the therapist and the child and sets the stage for future sessions.
Parents can support their child by maintaining open communication, encouraging their participation in therapy, and being patient with the process. Additionally, attending regular feedback sessions with the therapist can help parents understand and reinforce the therapeutic strategies at home.
We use a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to the needs of each child, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, Art Therapy, Mindfulness and relaxation techniques, and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT).
