Therapy is evidence-based care provided by a trained mental health professional. It gives children and families a safe place to talk, understand feelings and behavior, learn coping skills, solve problems, and work toward meaningful goals.

Sessions may include talking, listening, play, creative activities, skill practice, problem-solving, and parent or caregiver involvement. The provider will explain the process, privacy rules, and treatment goals at the beginning.

Start by talking with a care coordinator. An intake appointment can help the provider understand your child's strengths, concerns, history, and current needs. The provider will work with you to decide whether therapy or another service is a good fit.

Therapy may help with emotional or behavioral challenges, school or social concerns, major life changes, low self-esteem, anxiety, fears, trauma, grief, anger, attention difficulties, and relationship problems.

Mental health providers protect privacy and confidentiality. They will explain the legal limits, including situations involving immediate safety, suspected abuse or neglect, or a court order. Information is shared with others only when permitted or required.

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who evaluates and treats mental, emotional, and behavioral conditions. A psychiatrist can prescribe medication when it is appropriate. Medication is not needed for every child and is often used alongside therapy.

Providers use evidence-based care while considering each child's life experiences, family, culture, school, community, strengths, and goals. Treatment is planned with the youth and caregiver, not simply for them.
