• Our approach

  Therapy Near Me uses evidence-based therapeutic approaches tailored to each child's needs and goals. Sessions may draw on established methods such as CBT, ACT, trauma-informed care, behavioural strategies, exposure-based approaches, mindfulness-based strategies and DBT-informed skills, depending on clinical suitability. Treatment approach, session format and specific goals are discussed with the practitioner and depend on the child's age, presenting concerns (such as anxiety, emotional regulation, school-related stress, behaviour or social challenges), family involvement needs and practitioner scope. Parent and carer involvement is often recommended, with the specific level depending on the child's age, goals and clinical needs.

• Working with families

  Parent and carer involvement is often recommended and depends on the child's age, goals and clinical needs. Therapy Near Me collaborates closely with families, carers, support coordinators and other providers to help children commence services quickly and receive practical, goal-aligned support. Where appropriate, the service provides coordinated communication with families and support teams. The practitioner will discuss the level and nature of family involvement as part of developing a treatment plan tailored to the child's situation.

• Your first visit

  The first session focuses on understanding the child's situation and goals. The practitioner will explain their recommended approach and develop a plan tailored to the child. Before the first appointment, the intake team asks about the child's goals, location, preferred appointment format (telehealth, in-clinic or at-home where available), funding type and any practitioner preferences to help identify a suitable option. This clear intake process ensures the service is matched to the family's circumstances and clinical needs.
