Frequently Asked Questions

Answering some common questions

Below are some questions we’re asked all the time by new clients. If you have a question not answered below, please contact us and we’ll try to answer it.

What does a child psychologist do?
A child psychologist supports children and adolescents in understanding and managing emotional, behavioral, and developmental challenges through evidence-based therapies. They work with families, schools, and caregivers to create environments where children can thrive.
When should I consider bringing my child to see a psychologist?
If your child is showing signs of distress—such as persistent sadness, anxiety, behavioral issues, or difficulty in school or with peers—an evaluation can help determine whether therapy would be beneficial.
What age groups do you work with?
We work with children from toddlerhood through early adolescence, customizing our approach to each developmental stage, whether it's play therapy for little ones or cognitive strategies for teens.
What types of issues do you treat?
Our practice addresses a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, emotional regulation difficulties, grief, reading intervention, and other social and school-related challenges.
What happens during a typical session?
The first session typically involves a parent consultation and a child assessment to understand the child's situation and needs. We prioritize building trust and making the experience welcoming for both child and caregiver.
Do you offer parent consultations or support?
Yes! Parent involvement is an essential part of effective treatment. We provide coaching and support to help parents reinforce therapeutic skills at home and strengthen the parent-child bond.
Is everything my child says kept confidential?
Yes, we maintain confidentiality while also keeping parents appropriately informed. We explain to children and caregivers how privacy works and when information may need to be shared for safety.
How long does therapy typically last?
Therapy length varies by child and concern. Some children show progress in a few months, while others may benefit from ongoing support. We regularly review goals and adjust plans as needed.
Do you provide assessments for learning or developmental concerns?
We provide comprehensive psychological evaluations that assess cognitive, emotional, and developmental functioning. These can help inform diagnoses and guide educational and therapeutic support.
How can I prepare my child for their first visit?
Let your child know they’ll be meeting someone who helps kids feel better and understand their feelings. Keep explanations simple, honest, and positive to help ease any anxiety.
