How therapy for children works
Child therapists communicate the way children do — through play, art, and stories as much as conversation. Treatment usually involves parents closely: expect check-ins, guidance for home, and sometimes joint sessions. Common reasons families come in include anxiety, school struggles, big behavioral changes, grief, and adjusting to divorce or a move.
