Frequently Asked Questions


  • How long does therapy typically last?

    The duration of therapy varies based on the child’s needs, but many children benefit from a few months of regular weekly sessions.

  • Do I need to be involved in my child’s therapy?

    Parental involvement is often crucial. We encourage communication and collaboration to ensure the best outcomes for your child.

  • Can I come to the appointments?

    Yes, we encourage the parents to attend the initial appointment so the therapist can ask questions the child or teen may not be able to answer. The therapist will want to explain the diagnosis and treatment plan near the end of the initial appointment and answer any questions. The therapist may want to inform the parent(s) about the plan or homework for the week at the end of each session.

  • Will I be informed of how my child is doing?

    Yes, depending on your child’s age. If your child is under the age of 12 years old, you are allowed access to medical records, diagnosis, treatment plan, and progress in treatment. If your child is 12 years old or older, state and federal laws restrict parental access to certain information without the child’s consent.

  • How much will therapy cost?

    The cost of therapy can vary by insurance plan. We accept out-of-network benefits and self-pay if our therapist is not in-network with your insurance plan. If you would like more information, please contact our office.

  • Are you in network with my insurance?

    Our therapists are not in network with any Medicaid plans. Please contact our office to verify if our therapists are in network with your insurance carrier/plan.
