How to Find A Therapist For My Child

Watching your child struggle with depression, anxiety, loneliness, rejection, anger, night terrors or other emotional or mental health issues can be overwhelming—at some point it can become all-consuming. You desperately want to help and comfort your child, but nothing seems to be working. You are at the point where you know your child needs professional help, and you want to engage with the best therapist. But how do you find a therapist for your child who will be the right fit, and truly be able to reach through to your child, alleviate their pain, and help them navigate their way to peace and happiness?

I Can Help You Find The Right Therapist for Your Child

I worked for Child Welfare of Boulder County for almost twenty years, first as a social worker for abused and neglected children and their families, then as the supervisor of a team of social workers across Boulder County. We worked closely and collaboratively with a variety of different therapists, attorneys, guardian ad litems, judges, probation officers, residential care facilities, and schools.

I developed a real understanding of who could best help each child based on their unique personality and set of needs. Over and over again, I witnessed how the right therapist would dramatically improve child and family functioning. In other words, a good match didn’t just make a difference. It was transformative.

Not A Directory

I am here to personally help you. Align With A Therapist is not a directory—there are plenty of those websites out there, and therapists pay the directory for their listing. By contrast, the therapists in my network do not pay me to be a member. I am doing this because I truly believe my personal experience with hundreds of therapists in Boulder County can help you find exactly the right therapist for your child, saving you money and valuable time. You can call me for a free 15-minute consultation at 720-514-9098. If you are not able to reach me immediately please leave me a message and I will return your call. Or please contact me via email, suzy@alignwithatherapist.com.

Navigating the complex task of choosing the right therapist for your child can be daunting. It is not uncommon for people to go from one therapist to the next for months in a quest to find the right one. This can be expensive, time-consuming, confusing and frustrating for you and your child. I can alleviate this needless expense and frustration by quickly steering you to just the right professional.

Here a few questions you may have, among others:

  • Can I be assured the therapist is highly experienced in helping resolve my child’s particular issues?
  • Can I find a good therapist near me?
  • What are the fees? Is there any sliding scale?
  • Does the therapist accept insurance?
  • Does my child need a counselor, a therapist or a psychologist? What’s the difference?
  • I’m confused about modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Play Therapy and Parent Child Interaction Therapy, among other terms. Which one, if any, should I pursue on my child’s behalf?

I can help answer your questions, and put your mind at ease that you are making the right choice.

It is possible to put an end to your child’s suffering. When you are ready to take that step, contact me for a free consultation. You will find more than a sympathetic ear and understanding—you will find a trustworthy guide with decades of experience to steer you through this critical juncture.
