How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Therapy may be helpful if you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or find yourself repeating the same patterns without getting the results you want. If it is difficult to make sense of your situation or know how to move forward, therapy can provide clarity, direction, and a different way of approaching what you are facing.

What types of therapy do you offer?

We offer individual therapy and couples therapy. We also provide Christian integration for those who want their faith included in the process. In addition, we work with business owners, CEOs, and professionals who are navigating stress, pressure, and the impact it has on their personal lives and relationships.

What is therapy like at Present Hope Therapy?

Therapy here is structured, thoughtful, and focused on helping you understand what is happening beneath the surface. Our approach is grounded in a few core principles: no judgment, genuine curiosity about your experience, and respect for your values without imposing our own. We use evidence-based methods to guide the process, not personal opinions, so the work leads to meaningful and lasting change.

What happens in the first session?

The first session is focused on understanding your story and what led you to seek therapy now. You will have space to share what has been going on, and we will reflect back what we are hearing to ensure we understand your situation clearly. We will also explain how we approach therapy and what the process may look like if you decide to move forward.

What Your Child or Teen May Be Experiencing

Children and teens often don’t have the words to explain what they’re going through—but it shows up in behavior, mood, and relationships.

Anxiety and excessive worry
Depression or low mood
Emotional outbursts or difficulty regulating emotions
Social struggles or isolation
School-related stress or avoidance
Low self-esteem or confidence
Behavioral challenges
Family conflict or transitions

How Therapy Works for Children & Teens

Therapy with children and adolescents looks different than therapy with adults. It’s designed to meet them where they are—emotionally, developmentally, and relationally.

Play & Expressive Therapy (Younger Children)

For younger children, therapy often includes play and art-based approaches. These methods allow children to express thoughts and emotions they may not yet have the language for.

Skill-Building for Preteens & Teens

For middle school and adolescent clients, therapy becomes more structured and skill-focused, helping them:

Understand their thoughts and emotions
Develop coping strategies
Improve decision-making and self-awareness

We integrate approaches such as:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
Expressive Arts Therapy

A Family-Centered Approach

Parents and caregivers are an important part of the process. When appropriate, therapy includes parent involvement to help reinforce progress outside of sessions.

Guidance for supporting your child at home
Psychoeducation to better understand behaviors and emotions
Family systems work to improve communication and connection

We don’t just work with the child—we help strengthen the system around them.

What Makes This Approach Effective

Developmentally tailored for each age group (5–18)
Combines structure (CBT/DBT) with creativity (play & art)
Focuses on both emotional understanding and practical skills
Integrates family support when it matters most
