Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing!
Therapy is a place kids and grown ups go to talk about their feelings, learn ways to cope and feel better, and gather tools they can keep using on their own in life.

Confidentiality means that what you and your family talk about in therapy stays private between you, your family and your therapist. Meaning, this is your safe space to talk about whatever you need and you know it will stay safe here.
