FAQs Child and Adolescent Therapy
Do I need a referral?
A referral is not required to receive psychological services from Frank Psychology.
What can I expect when working with a psychologist?
The first session is usually spent with the parents/guardians to discuss current concerns and gather necessary background information. Depending on the age of the child/youth this information will be shared in a developmentally appropriate manner to seek their perspective on the current situation.
If this is your first time booking a individual session for your child or adolescent Please select Adolescent-Initial Consultation when booking.
Have a look at what the Canadian Psychological Association says about what to expect from a psychologist by clicking here https://cpa.ca/public/decidingtoseeapsychologist/psychologistwhattoexpect/
Do both parents/guardians need to attend the individual session?
No. One parent/guardian can attend on their own. If parents/guardians are separated or divorced a copy of the court order highlighting parental rights is needed. This is to ensure a court order is not in place that specifically addresses or impacts the issue of consent for a minor. A copy of the order can be emailed to info@frankpsychology.com or brought to your first session.
How many sessions will my child/youth need?
After the first session, your psychologist will offer initial impressions and make recommendations, and together you will decide on treatment approach. You can decide with the psychologist how often you would like to be updated about your child’s progress, and can request parent updates to be scheduled at regular intervals, or family therapy, depending on the need.
How much information will be shared with me about my child/youth’s session?
It is important for your child to feel a strong sense of trust and therapeutic alliance with their psychologist, therefore not all details about conversations will be disclosed to family. Parents/guardian’s will be updated around themes and general impressions, and there are certain limits to confidentiality that will be explained to you and your child during the first session. If your child discloses information that leads your psychologist to be concerned about safety, your child’s or someone else’s, your child will be encouraged to share concerns directly with you during family therapy. If this skill is being worked on and communication is not yet open, your psychologist will update you immediately and your psychologist will facilitate safety planning with your child.
Are you ou able to communicate with my child’s school to help them understand my child better?
Yes, with a signed release of information form, Frank Psychology is able to communicate with any other service providers involved in the care of your child/youth.
