  • Yes, we do offer in-person therapy sessions in our Albany office. However, availability is very limited due to high demand. Please contact us to learn more about our current options.

  • Part of what makes therapy effective is confidentiality. If the child or teen knows we report everything to the parent, they might not tell us what we need to know to help them.

    Therefore, we try to give them the most confidential space possible. That being said, we will bring in the parents for various reasons, including:

    • Serious safety concerns

    • Family therapy as an intervention
