Is therapy right for my child?

Therapy is designed to:

• Help children and teens learn coping skills, manage emotions, and improve relationships.
• Support families in understanding and responding to their child’s needs.
• Provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for processing experiences.

Therapy cannot:

• Provide overnight change — progress takes consistent effort and time.
• “Erase” a child’s feelings or make them happy all the time — instead, it teaches them how to handle life’s challenges.
• Replace medical care — we do not prescribe medication, perform medical evaluations, or provide crisis stabilization (but we can connect you with resources).
• Control every environment — changes at home, school, and in peer relationships often require collaboration.
