Common Questions

How do I know if my child needs therapy?
Consider therapy if your child shows persistent mood changes, behavioral issues, difficulty at school, social struggles, or has experienced trauma or major life changes. Even if you're unsure, a consultation can help determine if therapy would be beneficial.
Will I be included in my child's therapy?
Yes! Parent involvement is crucial. Therapists typically meet with parents before sessions, provide regular updates, and may include family sessions. For teens, there's a balance between privacy and parent collaboration.
What is play therapy and how does it work?
Play therapy uses toys, games, and creative activities to help young children express feelings they can't put into words. It's developmentally appropriate and highly effective for ages 3-10.
Do you accept insurance for child therapy?
Yes! We accept many major insurance plans for child and adolescent therapy. Check your coverage here or call us at (801) 410-0542 to verify benefits.
How long does child therapy typically take?
Duration varies by child and concern. Some see improvement in 6-12 sessions, while others benefit from longer support. Your therapist will work with you to set realistic goals and timelines.
What if my child doesn't want to go to therapy?
This is common! Therapists are skilled at building rapport with reluctant children and teens. Starting with a parent consultation or making the first session low-pressure often helps. Many children who initially resist end up enjoying therapy.
