Yes, parents of minor clients are required to sit in for the first part of the initial session to understand the therapy process and what it entails. This time allows parents to express any questions or concerns, and the therapist may discuss the treatment plan and ways parents can support their children at home.
After this initial portion of the session, we encourage parents to allow their children to engage in individual therapy time. However, some children may feel more comfortable with a parent present, or the therapist may recommend parental involvement in certain circumstances.
Our approach is flexible and geared toward creating a safe and confidential environment that best meets the child’s needs. Anything shared with the therapist will remain private unless the child consents to share it with you. We place a high priority on your child’s privacy, creating a trusting relationship that enables effective therapy.

At our clinic, we follow an evidence-based approach to determine the most effective treatment plan tailored to your unique situation.
