Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our Pediatric Counseling Services
At what age can children start counseling?
We work with children as young as 3 years old using play therapy techniques. The approach varies based on developmental level rather than strict age guidelines.
How long does each counseling session last?
Sessions typically last 45-50 minutes for individual child therapy. Family sessions may run 60-75 minutes depending on needs.
Will I be involved in my child's therapy?
Parent involvement varies based on age and issues, but we always include regular parent check-ins and often incorporate family sessions as appropriate.
How many sessions will my child need?
This depends on the concerns being addressed. Some children show improvement in 8-12 sessions, while others with more complex needs may benefit from longer-term support.
What qualifications do your child counselors have?
Our counselors hold advanced degrees in psychology, counseling, or social work, with specialized training in child development and evidence-based pediatric therapies.
