Your questions, answered
What is child therapy?
Child therapy teaches regulation, communication, and problem-solving using developmentally appropriate activities. Sessions may involve play, stories, and skills practice with caregiver coaching. If testing is needed, a child psychologist can complement therapy with assessment and planning. For broader household patterns and routines, Family therapists support can also help.
How are caregivers involved?
Caregivers learn routines to reinforce skills at home and collaborate on goals. Brief check-ins monitor progress and adjust plans. Many clinics recommend roughly one parent session for every five child sessions so skills transfer to daily life. When whole-family dynamics need attention, Teen therapists can support older children transitioning to adolescence, and Applied behavioural therapists may be relevant for structured skill-building depending on goals.
What issues can child therapy help with?
Common concerns include anxiety, behavioral difficulties, social skills, school avoidance, transitions like divorce or moving, grief, and emotional regulation. Therapy builds confidence and connection while addressing school and home routines. If worry and avoidance are central, Anxiety therapists support can be a helpful parallel lens.
What is play therapy?
Play therapy uses toys, art, storytelling, and imaginative role-play to help children express feelings they may not have words for. It is one of the most researched approaches for young children and works well for anxiety, trauma, attachment difficulties, and behavioral concerns. A trained play therapist observes patterns in play to understand what the child is experiencing and guides the process toward healthier coping.
What are the signs my child should see a therapist?
Common signs include withdrawing from activities they used to enjoy, falling behind at school, frequent tantrums or emotional outbursts beyond what is typical for their age, changes in sleep or appetite, persistent worry, difficulty making or keeping friends, or a teacher recommending support. You do not need a crisis to reach out; early intervention typically leads to faster progress.
What does a child psychologist do?
A child psychologist provides therapy and can also conduct formal assessments and diagnoses for conditions like ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, and anxiety disorders. They typically hold doctoral training. If your child needs both ongoing therapy and a formal evaluation, a child psychologist can often handle both. If you only need therapy, a child therapist or counsellor may be a more accessible and affordable option.
What is the difference between a child psychologist and a child therapist?
Child psychologists hold doctoral-level training and can diagnose, assess, and treat. Child therapists (psychotherapists, social workers, counsellors) provide therapy but generally cannot conduct formal assessments or issue diagnoses. Both can deliver effective treatment. Choose a psychologist if you need testing or a diagnosis; choose a therapist if the main goal is ongoing skill-building and support.
When should I consider an assessment for my child?
Consider an assessment when you need answers about why your child is struggling, not just support for coping. If attention and executive function are the main concerns, start with ADHD assessments. If social communication, sensory patterns, or developmental differences are prominent, an autism assessment can clarify the picture. If academic performance is the focus, a psychoeducational assessment maps learning strengths and gaps to guide school accommodations.
