It’s not always easy to know when to seek counseling. Many families wonder whether what they’re seeing is a “normal phase” or a sign that extra support could help. Or if this is simply a phase of life. If you’re feeling unsure, take a moment to reflect on the questions below: • Do you or your child or teen seem to be struggling or suffering emotionally? • What worries you most about your or their behavior, mood, or relationships right now? • Are you feeling overwhelmed or stuck in how to support them as a parent? • Have your efforts to help so far felt unsuccessful or short-lived? If you answered yes to any of these, counseling may offer you or your child, and your family, the support, tools, and understanding needed to move forward together.

We schedule you for an hour on our calendar and plan to spend at least 50 mins of that time with you or your child in therapy. We use the remaining time to check in about progress, scheduling, and cleaning! We often recommend beginning sessions on a weekly basis. However, we know there are limitations to this recommendation and work with you or your family to find a frequency that meets all of your goals. We also provide extended sessions when necessary and book our parent consultations for as much or little time as needed.

Your first therapy appointment is all about getting to know you and your needs. For child therapy, the initial session (intake) is with parents or caregivers and focuses on understanding your child’s behaviors, environment, and relationships. We’ll also discuss office policies and therapy expectations, ensuring everyone leaves with a clear plan. For teens and adults, the intake session is with the client, though teens can choose to include parents or caregivers. We’ll go at your pace, gathering information to build a trusting and open relationship from the start.
