“Thank you for considering therapy for your child.
As part of our intake process, therapists often begin with a parent-only session. This initial appointment is for parents to meet with the therapist without the child present to discuss the child’s needs, history, and goals for therapy. It provides an important opportunity to share background information, gain insight into your child’s emotional and psychological well-being, and collaborate on how best to support them both in and outside of sessions.
Please let us know about any parental custody or decision-making arrangements prior to booking, so we can ensure all legal and ethical considerations are met.
If you have any questions or would like more information before scheduling, please don’t hesitate to reach out — we’re here to help.”2 optionsOpenings checked 1 hr ago
