Below, you will find answers to common questions about therapy services, treatment approaches, insurance, fees, scheduling, and getting started.

Getting Started With Therapy

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you are not sure what to expect. These questions explain how to begin therapy, what the intake process may look like, and how to tell if therapy may help your child, teen, or family.

Getting started is simple. You can reach out through our contact form, email, or phone to schedule a free 15 minute consultation for yourself, your child, or your teen. During the consultation, we will learn more about what you are looking for, answer your questions, and help match you or your family member with the right therapist.

The first therapy session looks different depending on whether therapy is for you, your child, or your teen. For adults, the first session focuses on getting to know you, gathering relevant history, understanding your concerns, and identifying treatment goals. For children and teens, the process usually begins with a parent interview. This helps the therapist gather developmental and family history, explore parent concerns, and better understand the child or teen’s needs. After that, the child or teen participates in an intake session to meet the therapist, get familiar with the therapy space, and begin exploring their needs and goals.

Children may benefit from therapy if you notice frequent tantrums, anxiety, trouble in school, difficulty with friendships, sleep changes, trouble regulating emotions, or big behavioral changes. In addition, therapy can help after a stressful, upsetting, or traumatic event.

Teens may benefit from therapy if they are struggling with anxiety, depression, school stress, peer conflict, family conflict, low self-esteem, emotional overwhelm, or life transitions. Therapy offers a safe space for your teen to feel heard, build coping skills, and work through challenges.

Parent coaching supports progress outside of therapy. It can strengthen the parent-child relationship, improve communication, and reduce conflict. It can also help parents feel more confident in responding to their child or teen’s needs.

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, is an evidence-based therapy approach offered at Mighty Minds Therapy. It is a structured, goal-oriented form of talk therapy that helps people better understand the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while building practical coping skills. CBT may be used with teens and adults, and for children it may be integrated into play therapy when appropriate. It can be helpful for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, grief, stress, and other emotional or behavioral challenges, depending on clinical needs.
