Frequently Asked Questions

Do I (or my child) really need therapy? 

Not everyone benefits from therapy.  This depends on the nature of the problems that need to be addressed.  An initial phone consultation can help determine whether an in-person detailed consultation is warranted. 

How do I talk to my child about therapy?

Many parents ask this very appropriate question.  The answer really depends on the age and developmental stage of your child.  For example, for a younger child, it often makes sense to compare going to a psychologist to going to their pediatrician.  The purpose of a pediatrician is to help keep your body healthy.  The purpose of a psychologist is to help your brain with any worries, stress, etc.  For older children and adolescents, the conversation is going to be a much more involved and often collaborative process. 

Do you accept insurance?
