Services and Fees

Initial Intake starts at $180.00.  During the intake, Tamara will sit with your family to discuss diagnosis, treatment goals, and recommendations moving forward.  This process can often take longer than an hour to ensure all relevant clinical information is gathered.  Please plan for this process to take 90 minutes.

For children, individual therapy often involves play-based techniques, art, or other creative activities that allow them to explore emotions and communicate in ways that feel natural to them. These activities help children process their feelings, build coping skills, and develop emotional regulation in a way that is developmentally appropriate.

Adolescents, on the other hand, may engage in more traditional talk therapy but can also benefit from interactive and engaging methods like journaling, role-playing, or digital tools to help them express themselves. Therapy for teens often focuses on addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, peer relationships, family dynamics, and identity development, while also promoting healthy coping strategies and decision-making skills.

For both age groups, the therapist may also work with parents or caregivers to provide guidance and support in creating a nurturing home environment that reinforces the work done in therapy.

Family therapy involves the child or adolescent, their parents, and sometimes other family members working together with a trained therapist to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships within the family unit. 

In family therapy, the therapist helps family members understand how their behaviors, dynamics, and interactions contribute to the challenges the child or adolescent is facing. Issues like behavioral problems, emotional struggles, mental health conditions, and family conflict can all impact the child or teen, and family therapy helps to address these concerns in a collaborative way. The therapist may use different techniques depending on the family's needs, such as communication exercises, problem-solving strategies, or role-playing to help family members express themselves more openly and empathetically.

In essence, family therapy for children and adolescents aims to enhance family communication, improve relationships, and provide the family with tools to better cope with challenges, ultimately promoting a healthier, more nurturing environment for the child's growth and development.

60 minute Family Therapy Session - $160.00

At times it is helpful for the therapist and parents to talk privately about interventions and how parents can help their child.  Tamara provides intensive support to parents whether it is in this format or in an on-going process with your child.  This service is charged at the same hourly rate of $145.00.

There may be a time when you need letters written or consultation with school supports to happen.  Tamara will dedicate time to ensure the quality of these extra supports.  Each extra support will be pro-rated for the duration of these extra supports at the individual therapy rates.
