We typically work with children ages 5-12, though we can assess younger children on a case-by-case basis. The key is that the child can engage in basic communication and play.

Sessions are typically 50 minutes but can be adjusted based on your child's attention span and needs. Younger children might benefit from shorter, more frequent sessions.

Play IS therapy for children! Through play, children naturally process emotions, practice new skills, and work through challenges. Our trained therapists guide this process therapeutically.

Very! We believe parents are essential partners in their child's healing. We'll have regular check-ins, provide strategies for home, and may include family sessions as appropriate.

This is normal! Many children feel nervous about new experiences. We're skilled at helping children feel comfortable and often find that initial reluctance fades quickly once they feel safe and understood.

We take time to understand your family's cultural background and help children navigate any cultural identity questions. We can also provide therapy in a variety of languages and connect with other culturally competent providers as needed.

Absolutely. Many school difficulties stem from emotional or social challenges that therapy can address. We can also collaborate with schools (with your permission) to ensure consistent support.

You'll likely notice changes in your child's emotional regulation, behavior, and overall mood. We'll regularly check in about progress and adjust our approach as needed.
