Q&A: How do I know if my child is too young for therapy?


Listen Later

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Emily Upshur and I talk about...

1:40 - A mental health professional can help you determine whether you should start with parenting support or individual therapy for your young child.

3:05 - Understanding the therapeutic support options available for young kids.

6:05 - Having a parent present during the beginning of sessions can help facilitate and strengthen a therapeutic alliance between the child and the therapist more quickly.

10:32 - What you can expect from parent-child dyadic sessions with a therapist - building trust, increasing frustration tolerance, containing emotions, strengthen your attachment, and more.

16:27 - Having a thorough and comprehensive intake is key for finding a treatment plan that is best suited for your child and your family's unique needs.

19:10 - It's okay to speak up, push back, and be an advocate for your child if you feel the support your receiving is not properly helping them.
