How Child & Teen Therapy Works
Therapy with younger clients looks different than therapy with adults. With children, especially younger ones, our therapists may use play, art, and creative expression to help them communicate and process what they cannot always say out loud. With teens, sessions tend to be more conversational — but always at the young person's pace, and always centered on building trust first.
Parents and caregivers are essential partners in this work. While individual sessions give the child or teen a private space to process, we will check in with parents regularly to share what we can, answer questions, and make sure the support at home and in therapy is aligned. For younger children especially, we may offer parent coaching alongside the child's individual sessions.
