    Frequently Asked Questions

    At what age can my teen start therapy?

    We work with teens aged 12 and up. Our therapists are experienced in creating age-appropriate therapeutic relationships that respect your teen's growing independence.

    Will I know what my teen discusses in therapy?

    Confidentiality is important for building trust. Your therapist will discuss boundaries with both you and your teen upfront. Safety concerns are always communicated to parents.

    Can therapy help with the college transition?

    Yes. We support young adults navigating the academic, social, and emotional challenges of leaving home, adjusting to college life, or figuring out next steps after high school.
