I offer high-quality virtual child and adolescent therapy in Georgia, Maryland, Washington DC, Texas, and Virginia

That’s completely normal. I move at your child’s pace and focus on building comfort and trust first.

You don’t need to say anything complicated. Keeping it simple and positive works best:

 

• “You’re going to talk to someone whose job is to help kids with feelings.”

• “It’s a safe space where you can talk, play, or ask questions.”

• “You don’t have to share anything you’re not ready to share.”

• “I’ll be here to support you every step of the way.”

 

Additional Helpful Reminders:

• Avoid saying your child is “in trouble” or needs to be “fixed”

• Let them know therapy is a place to feel understood—not judged

• It’s okay if they feel unsure at first—that’s completely normal

• I’ll create a personalized plan based on your child’s needs and your goals
• We’ll schedule your child’s first individual session
• I’ll share recommendations (if helpful) for home, school, or routines
• We’ll set a consistent schedule to build comfort and progress
• You’ll have ongoing opportunities to check in and ask questions

  • Yes — I offer evening and weekend appointments
  • Online sessions make scheduling easier
