• Child's View Counseling aims to keep out of network therapy as financially accessible as possible. With that in mind, I offer a unique fee scale based on The Green Bottle Method (credit goes to Alexis J Cunningfolk).

    Please reflect on your financial situation, identify where you land and let me know what your family is able to pay. The purpose of this structure is to match fees with capacity in a way that supports both your family and overall mental health accessibility.

    Abundant - Consider paying the standard rate or more for child therapy in the Triangle area, $150-$200+/ session

  • I do not directly accept insurance. However, I'm happy to provide documentation for you to submit for reimbursement. If you're interested in this option, please let me know. For a small fee, a third-party company can assist with the submissions, making the process easier for you!

  • Most kids thrive in play therapy! Here are some indicators that therapy may be beneficial.

    • Behavioral concerns: If your child is experiencing frequent outbursts, aggression, withdrawal, or difficulty following rules, play therapy can help address and understand these challenges.

    • Life Transitions: Major life changes like moving to a new place, changes in family dynamics (divorce, a new sibling), or other transitions can impact a child emotionally. Play therapy provides a safe space for them to express their feelings and navigate these changes.

    • Difficulty with Peers: If your child struggles with making friends, maintaining relationships, or exhibits social difficulties, play therapy can enhance their social skills and improve peer interactions.

    • Expressing Emotions: Children may find it challenging to express their emotions verbally. Play therapy offers alternative ways for them to communicate and process their feelings through toys, art, and other creative outlets.

    • Trauma or Stress: Children who have experienced traumatic events or ongoing stress may benefit from play therapy as a means of processing and coping with these difficult emotions.

    • Changes in Academic Performance: A decline in academic performance or a sudden disinterest in school may indicate underlying emotional issues that could be addressed through play therapy.

    • Regression in Developmental Milestones: If your child regresses in previously achieved developmental milestones (such as bedwetting, speech development, or self-care), it may signal emotional distress that play therapy can help address.

    • Resistance to Therapy or Communication: If your child is resistant to traditional talk therapy or struggles to communicate about their feelings, play therapy provides a non-threatening and engaging alternative.

    • Parental Concerns: If, as a parent, you have concerns about your child's emotional well-being, behavior, or overall happiness, please reach out and we can determine if play therapy is a suitable intervention for your family.

  • I work primarily with kiddos between the ages of 2-12.

    If you are seeking services for someone outside of this age range who may benefit from play therapy, please feel free to reach out. I'm invested in supporting developmental needs without restrictions based on physical age.
