The initial consultation for child’s therapy is with the parent(s) only.* This allows you to provide a detailed history to the therapist as well as describe your concerns in detail. At the end of the consultation, your child’s therapist will provide initial feedback as well as a preliminary treatment plan. The follow-up appointment will be with you and your child for the first few minutes and then your child individually for the remainder of the visit. At the end of this appointment, your child’s therapist will touch base with you to provide brief feedback and schedule the following appointment.
*If your child is an adolescent, the initial session may include both parent(s) and child depending on the needs of the individual child as well as the presenting concern. This will be determined in the initial phone consultation.
