Common Questions & Answers

The length of therapy varies depending on your goals and the complexity of the concerns. Some clients seek short-term therapy focused on a specific issue, while others pursue deeper long-term growth work. All of our providers emphasize clear goal-setting and regularly evaluate progress so that therapy remains purposeful and aligned with your needs. Additionally, some of the therapy modalities our providers are trained in are specifically designed to be short-term.

At Blooming Clematis Therapy & Consulting, all of our providers recognize how influential Parents/ Guardians/ Caretakers are in the success and well being of the child they are caring for. We believe it is important to get input from all people that are involved in a child's life to have a well rounded view of the child, strengths, and areas of growth. Even when we are working with older teenagers, we require having a guardian available in case something comes up in session that needs to be addressed urgently.

No. Therapy is not meant to be indefinite and our providers believe that therapy should always have an end point that is being worked towards. Our approach is structured and goal-oriented, meaning we collaborate on clear objectives and monitor progress toward completion. We will actively check in with you as you make progress and discuss the benefits of decreasing session frequency if appropriate.

A therapist is only with a child one hour per week for therapy but Caretakers are 24/7. Caretakers have the most opportunities for modeling appropriate and healthy behaviors to children and we want to ensure that everyone has their chance to be heard and supported as the family navigates challenging situations. We want to make sure that the skills we support children and families in learning are actively and appropriately learned and utilized in all settings. This means everyone needs to know what is being discussed to support the child in making the change so that it lasts!

All of our providers typically offer standard 55 minute sessions. If you would like to have longer sessions, we are happy to provide this but we can not bill insurance for sessions over 55 minutes.
