Does Maven provide therapy to children?
It depends on the problem and the age of the child. Some problems are easily addressed with children, whereas other problems require a certain level of maturity to treat adequately. As such, treatment may be an ongoing process, with the child learning better coping strategies as he or she gets older. The average 15 year old is usually at an age when he or she is able to engage in psychotherapy and benefit from the skills that we offer. Younger children usually need to be accompanied by a parent, with the parent learning the strategies in order to help the child implement them. Sorry, we cannot give a more straightforward answer. Give us a call to see if we can be of help. If we cannot, we can usually recommend someone who can.
