Common Questions
Will my teen's sessions be private?
The clinician explains confidentiality and its limits in clear, age-appropriate language, including what may be shared with caregivers.
My teen doesn't want to go. What can I do?
That's common. It can help to name what you've noticed, listen, and let your teen have a say in things like timing or meeting by telehealth. A first conversation with our team can help too.
