Frequently Asked Questions

What is child and teen counseling?

Child and teen counseling is a professional service that provides a supportive, age-appropriate space for young people to explore thoughts, feelings, and everyday experiences. Sessions are designed to support emotional development, communication, and life skills in a structured, respectful environment.

How does counseling help children and adolescents?

Counseling offers children and teens an opportunity to build self-awareness, practice communication, and develop tools for navigating school, relationships, and life transitions. The focus is on growth, understanding, and skill-building rather than labeling or diagnosis.

What happens during a session?

Sessions are tailored to the child or teen’s age and comfort level. Depending on the developmental stage, sessions may include conversation, activities, or creative methods that encourage expression and reflection. Each session is paced to support engagement and trust.

Are parents involved in the process?

Parent or caregiver involvement may be included when helpful and appropriate. This collaboration focuses on shared understanding, communication, and supporting the child or teen outside of sessions, while still respecting confidentiality boundaries.

What age groups do you work with?

We provide counseling services for children and adolescents ages 6 through 18, with approaches adapted to each stage of development.

Do you offer play therapy?

We use developmentally appropriate, interactive approaches for younger children, which may include play-based or creative methods to support communication and engagement in sessions.

Do you offer telehealth sessions for teens?

Yes, telehealth counseling sessions are available for teens when appropriate. Virtual sessions are conducted through secure platforms and follow the same professional standards as in-person services.

How long does counseling typically last?

The length of counseling varies depending on individual goals, preferences, and scheduling needs. Some families choose short-term support, while others prefer ongoing sessions over time.

What concerns can counseling support?

Counseling can support a wide range of everyday experiences, including school-related stress, peer relationships, family changes, life transitions, and personal growth. Services are focused on skill-building and emotional development rather than treatment of conditions.

How do I schedule an appointment?

You can schedule an appointment by contacting our office or using our online scheduling option. Our care team is available to answer questions and help you determine next steps.
