FAQs
What services do you offer at your christian therapy practice?
We provide systemic family therapy services focused on ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, behavioral challenges, and strengthening parent-child relationships. Our online sessions incorporate evidence-based therapeutic techniques like Structural Family Therapy, play therapy interventions and family systems counseling, all grounded in biblical principles to support holistic healing and spiritual growth for your family—from the comfort of your home.
Can therapy help with behavioral issues in children and teens?
Yes, we address a wide range of behavioral challenges, such as defiance, aggression, anxiety, or withdrawal, using positive reinforcement, boundary-setting techniques, and parent coaching. Drawing from Proverbs' wisdom on discipline and love, we empower families to guide children toward self-control and godly character without shame or punishment-focused methods.
What should I expect during the first session?
Your initial consultation (typically 50-60 minutes) is conducted virtually via a secure video platform. It involves getting to know your family's story, discussing goals, and assessing needs through gentle conversation or assessments. We'll explain our Christian-integrated process and outline a personalized plan. It's a safe, non-judgmental space—feel free to ask questions or share your concerns in any way you're comfortable.
How many sessions will we need, and what's the typical duration?
The number of sessions varies based on your family's needs—some see progress in 8-12 weekly sessions, while ongoing support may be recommended for complex issues like autism or chronic behavioral patterns. Each session lasts 50-60 minutes, with flexibility for family or individual formats. We'll review progress regularly to adjust as needed.
Is therapy confidential, and are there any exceptions?
Yes, we adhere strictly to HIPAA and ethical guidelines for confidentiality—nothing is shared without your written consent. Exceptions include imminent harm to self or others, court orders, or child/elder abuse reporting, as required by law. In our Christian context, we emphasize trust as a reflection of God's faithfulness.
Do you offer resources or support outside of sessions?
Absolutely! We provide take-home digital workbooks, parenting guides with biblical insights (e.g., on ADHD-friendly routines inspired by Ephesians 6), recommended books like "The ADHD Effect on Marriage" or "Loving Your Autistic Child," and access to our secure client portal for videos, devotionals, and progress tracking. We also host occasional virtual workshops on topics like "Faith-Filled Parenting Through Behavioral Challenges."
What technology is required for virtual sessions?
You'll need a reliable internet connection (broadband recommended), a device with a webcam and microphone (like a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop), and access to a quiet, private space. We use user-friendly platforms like Simple Practice, that are HIPAA-compliant and don't require downloads—just a simple link we'll send you. If tech issues arise, our team offers troubleshooting support, ensuring everyone can participate smoothly.
What is family therapy, and how can it help my family?
Family therapy is a collaborative process where we work together via secure video platforms to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and build healthier dynamics. For families dealing with ADHD, autism, or behavioral issues, it addresses root causes, teaches coping strategies, and fosters empathy—often leading to reduced stress, better behavior management, and stronger bonds, all while honoring God's design for family.
How do you specialize in ADHD and autism?
Our therapists are trained in neurodiversity-affirming approaches, including strategies for executive functioning, sensory processing, and social skills development. We create individualized plans that celebrate each child's unique wiring as part of God's creation, helping parents navigate diagnoses with confidence and compassion rather than frustration.
How does faith play a role in your therapy approach?
As a Christian practice, we weave Scripture, prayer, and God's wisdom into sessions when appropriate and with your consent. Our goal is to align therapy with your family's faith journey, helping you apply biblical truths to real-life challenges like patience in parenting or grace in relationships. We respect diverse levels of faith commitment and never impose beliefs.
What are your fees, and do you accept insurance?
Our session fees range from $120-$180, depending on format (individual, couple, or family) and therapist experience—please contact us for current details. We are in-network with major providers like Blue Cross Blue Shield and Aetna for eligible services; we also offer sliding-scale options based on income to make care accessible as an act of stewardship and service.
How do I get started or schedule an appointment?
Simply call our office at [your phone number], email us, or use our online contact form to request an intake. We'll respond within 24-48 hours to discuss availability and complete a brief questionnaire. As a virtual-only practice, all sessions are conducted online via secure video—perfect for busy families. We'll guide you on easy setup for your first appointment.
What if therapy doesn't seem to be working for us?
We're committed to your progress and will reassess openly if goals aren't being met—perhaps adjusting techniques, involving additional family members, or referring to complementary specialists (e.g., pediatricians for medication). Remember, healing is a journey guided by God's timing; we're here to support you every step, with grace and persistence.
What are the benefits of virtual therapy for families with ADHD, autism, or behavioral issues?
Virtual sessions offer flexibility to fit around your family's unique schedules and energy levels, reducing the overwhelm of travel—ideal for children with sensory sensitivities or ADHD-related challenges. You can join from a familiar home environment that promotes comfort and focus, while our adaptive techniques (like screen-sharing for visuals or breaks for movement) make it engaging for neurodiverse participants. Ultimately, this approach honors God's provision for rest and restoration in your daily life (Psalm 23), making healing more attainable.
