How are you different from a therapist at an outside agency?

How do children get to see you?

Will you notify me if you see my child?

We will notify you if we see your child for ongoing counseling, especially if there are any concerns that require your attention. For brief, one-time sessions, we may not always contact you unless there's a need to share important information or if your child's safety is involved. If you ever have questions or concerns about your child's visits, please feel free to reach out to us directly. Our goal is to work collaboratively with you to support your child's well-being.
