Frequently Asked Questions

  • Child and family therapy is a type of counseling that involves working with children and their families to address emotional, behavioral, and relational issues. The goal is to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen family bonds by addressing the needs of both the child and the family as a whole.

  • This type of therapy can help with a wide range of issues, including behavioral problems, anxiety, depression, family conflict, trauma, grief, school-related issues, and challenges related to major life transitions such as divorce or relocation.

  • If your child is exhibiting persistent behavioral issues, mood swings, difficulty in school, trouble sleeping, withdrawal from social activities, or any other significant changes in behavior, therapy might be beneficial. It’s also helpful if your family is experiencing ongoing conflict or stress that affects everyone’s well-being.

  • During therapy sessions, our therapists may work with the child individually, with parents or guardians, or with the entire family. Sessions often involve talking, playing, and other activities designed to help the child express their feelings and the family work through issues together. Our therapists will guide discussions, help set goals, and provide strategies for improving communication and resolving conflicts.

  • The length of therapy varies depending on the specific needs of the child and family. Some families may see significant improvement in a few sessions, while others may benefit from longer-term therapy. Your therapist will work with you to develop a plan that fits your family’s needs.

  • Parents play a crucial role in therapy. They are often involved in sessions, learn strategies for supporting their child at home, and may be given tasks to practice between sessions. The therapist will work with parents to help them better understand their child’s needs and improve family dynamics.

  • Yes, therapy is confidential. Your therapist is bound by ethical guidelines to protect your family’s privacy. However, there are some exceptions, such as if the therapist believes there is a risk of harm to the child or others. The therapist will explain confidentiality and any exceptions during the initial session.

  • Finding the right therapist involves considering their experience, specialization in child and family therapy, and how comfortable you and your child feel with them. You can ask for recommendations from your pediatrician, check online directories, or consult with your insurance provider. You may even contact us and ask for recommendations within our practice for your families needs.

  • It’s common for children to be hesitant about therapy. Your therapist will work to create a comfortable and welcoming environment for your child. Parents can help by explaining that therapy is a safe space where they can talk about their feelings and that it’s okay to share their thoughts with someone who wants to help.

  • To prepare your child, explain in simple terms what therapy is and what they can expect. Let them know that the therapist is someone who helps children and families talk about their feelings and solve problems together. Reassure your child that it’s okay to feel nervous and that the therapist is there to help them feel better.
