How do I set up an initial appointment?
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellations made within 24 hours of the appointment are charged the full fee since this time has been reserved for you.
What ages do you see?
Do parents and kids argue in your office?
It’s not unusual for family members to show up tense with each other. That just gives us more to work on.
If we all pretend everything is fine, it usually doesn’t get any better.
What if my child or teen is nervous about coming to see you?
We have fidget toys, games, art supplies, and activities to make a calm and peaceful environment.
How long will therapy take?
We tend to think about blocks of therapy in which we increase skills and process hard stuff. Then a break makes sense to let that settle and see how things go.
Are we going to have to talk about our feelings?
Sometimes other ways of expressing what is going on inside of us are better. And change can happen without every inner detail being spelled out in bold print.
Things don’t seem that bad. Does my kid really need therapy?
But there is a reason you got this far reading on our website. You are really concerned.
During the free 20-minute consultation we offer, we can talk about the risks and benefits of seeking therapy now or waiting.
Does my child’s need for therapy mean that I’m a bad parent?
We so want to do this important job well, and when a child is struggling, we are tempted to blame ourselves. But behavior is more complicated than that.
Whatever biology, experiences, and dynamics contributed to the problem, you are in a unique position to help your child with it. And seeking help for your child is surely a mark of a loving parent.
Are you going to turn my kid against me?
Our goal is to empower parents to provide what their children need and to make children more able to receive the good input parents offer.
We seek to turn parents and children toward each other, not against each other.
