Even if your child is seen in individual therapy, as a caregiver you are a very important part of your child’s treatment. A therapist will only see your child for 1-2 hours per week and if there is not an ongoing plan for being in touch, the skills and insights gained in therapy may not translate to other parts of your child’s life outside of therapy. Ongoing caregiver involvement is also important so that you and your family can make important changes that will support your child’s development even when therapy has ended.

Many caregivers find relief from spending time thinking together about their values as parents and how to respond from these rather than from fears or anxieties. We will generally meet with caregivers for at least 2-4 sessions before first meeting with the child, and for some families we may never meet the child. Whether in individual therapy, family-based therapy, or even parent consultation, we work closely with caregivers to understand their child’s behaviors and to attend to the emotional needs that may be masked by troubling behaviors.

Sessions are typically held 1-2x weekly for 50 minute sessions, or as your treatment needs dictate. The length of treatment is something that is collaboratively decided upon with your provider based on the particular issues you or your child is seeking support with.

If you have out-of-network coverage for mental health or counseling services or a PPO plan we can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance. We accept, cash, check, credit cards, HSA and FSA accounts. With your permission, we will keep your payment information on file for more convenient billing for you.

The estimated cost of a course of therapy varies greatly depending on the age of the client, the type of therapy provided, severity, and diagnoses being treated. With the passage of the No Surprises Act in January 2022, out-of-network providers are required to provide you with an estimate of the costs of your care.
