It’s common for children and teens and young adults to face difficulties. Consider counseling if your child’s struggles (e.g., persistent sadness, anxiety, sudden behavioral changes, difficulty at school or with friends, excessive anger, or withdrawal) are intense, long-lasting, or significantly impacting their daily life and your family’s harmony. We encourage you to schedule an intake consultation to discuss your specific concerns.
The first step is to gather information through a comprehensive intake process. Your child’s provider will ask many questions during this process to get to know you and your child. Next, your child’s provider will work with you and your child to identify treatment goals that are personalized to your child.
Great care will be taken to build a trusting relationship and solid rapport with your child. This rapport is absolutely critical to treatment success and can take time to establish before jumping in fully. The next step is the one that you’ve probably been looking for— therapy.
Most of us picture an adult sitting on a couch talking to their therapist when we think of counseling or therapy, but that’s simply one of many treatment approaches! In fact, pediatric therapists rarely expect children to communicate exclusively through talking. While the Intuition Wellness team does offer talk therapy, team members are also trained in a variety of play-based and expressive arts approaches.
Parents are sometimes surprised to hear from their child that they “just played” during their session. In fact, they are doing so much work during their play with their provider, but kids often don’t even realize it! Your child’s provider will make every effort to keep your child engaged and interested. Sessions might even be a lot of fun for your child.
At times and depending on your child’s presentation, you may also be invited into a portion or all of sessions.
Counseling can work for people of any age. However, Intuition Wellness Center’s counseling team specializes in birth to 25 years old and their family members. Intuition Wellness counselors can provide services in numerous formats: individual, family, parent support, etc. Intuition Wellness cares about YOU, too, and knows that parenting can be very challenging. Your child’s provider may recommend a member of the team or a trusted community partner to support you individually as well.
Intuition Wellness has limited its contracts with insurance providers to ensure that your family is able to receive the best care possible. Many counseling services are directly billable to Blue Cross/Blue Shield and Aetna insurances. Please contact your insurance company with questions about your benefits. At your request, Intuition Wellness can also provide you with a superbill which you may be able to submit for reimbursement.
Additionally, Intuition Wellness places great value on supporting the professional community and hires professionals in training such as those working on independent licensure or their PhDs. There are many benefits to working with a therapist in training, including reduced fees for your family and a great deal of attention from your provider.

We recommend explaining it as a special place where they can talk to a kind adult helper about their feelings and challenges. You might say, “We’re going to visit a helper who knows a lot about feelings and can teach you new ways to feel better and solve problems. It’s a safe place where you can talk about anything.” For younger children, you can emphasize that they’ll play and talk.
Absolutely. While children need a safe, confidential space, parental involvement is crucial for successful outcomes. We typically involve parents in initial intake sessions, periodic check-ins, and discuss strategies you can use at home to support your child’s progress. The level of direct involvement in sessions depends on your child’s age, needs, and therapeutic goals, always respecting your child’s privacy.
The duration of counseling varies for each child, depending on their unique needs, goals, and the complexity of their challenges. Some children benefit significantly from short-term support, while others may need longer-term engagement. We will discuss a preliminary treatment plan and estimated timeline during your initial consultation and regularly review progress.
Our experienced therapists utilize evidence-based approaches tailored to your child’s age and needs. This may include play therapy for younger children, talk therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, family systems therapy, and more. Our goal is to make therapy engaging and effective for your child.
Confidentiality is essential for building trust in therapy. What your child discusses in sessions is confidential, just like with adult therapy, with a few important exceptions (e.g., if there’s a risk of harm to themselves or others). We will clearly explain our confidentiality policies to both you and your child during the intake process to ensure everyone understands.
