Child, Adolescent, Family Therapy
Dear caregiver, I will need your support in helping your child, especially since you are the most important person in their life.
Parental involvement is vital to the healing and effectiveness of a child’s therapy treatment. As social beings, we develop our understanding of who we are, who others are, and how safe the world is in our earliest relationship experiences. Having a caregiver’s presence in therapy can give a child the opportunity to sort out and make sense of the life events that may be contributing to their present day difficulties. Don’t worry, your kiddo will get their solo time in their sessions, however, parent(s) will be highly encouraged to join their child in at least some of their session time.
Please note, I only work with kiddos ages 8 and up.
