-
If your child or teen is experiencing emotional distress or behavioral changes that is affecting their daily life, relationships, school performance, or overall well-being, therapy may help. Many parents seek support when they notice their child struggling to manage emotions, cope with stress, or process difficult experiences.
-
We provide therapy for children (ages 5+), preteens, teens, and young adults. Treatment is tailored to the developmental needs of each individual.
-
It’s very common for children and teens to feel hesitant about therapy at first. We work to create a welcoming and supportive environment where young people feel comfortable sharing at their own pace. Many teens become more open once they feel understood and realize therapy is a safe space to talk and develop skills that can help them feel better.
-
The first session focuses on getting to know your child or teen and understanding the concerns that brought your family to therapy. We discuss current challenges, strengths, and goals for therapy while helping your child feel comfortable and supported. This initial conversation helps guide the treatment plan moving forward.
-
Most therapy sessions are scheduled once per week, especially at the beginning of treatment. The frequency of sessions may change over time depending on individual needs and progress.
-
Yes. Parents play an important role in a child’s progress. While therapy provides a safe space for young people to share their experiences, we also work collaboratively with parents by providing guidance, support, and strategies that help reinforce progress at home.
-
The length of therapy varies depending on each individual’s needs and goals. Some young people benefit from shorter-term therapy focused on developing coping skills, while others may need longer support to process trauma or ongoing challenges. We regularly review progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
-
Yes. Many services are available both in person and through secure online therapy using a HIPAA-compliant video platform. Online sessions provide a convenient option for individuals and families across Texas who prefer meeting from home or are unable to attend in person.
-
Individual therapy sessions are $150 per session, and payment is due at the time of service. We accept select insurance plans and also offer private-pay options, which allow for greater flexibility and a more personalized approach to care.
For clients using out-of-network benefits, we are happy to provide a superbill that may be submitted to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
-
Treatment is tailored to each client’s needs and draws from evidence-based approaches including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), play therapy, art therapy, and family systems approaches. These approaches help children and teens develop emotional regulation, healthier coping skills, and stronger communication.
