Begin with a question, not a label.
You may have noticed changes at home, concerns at school or a young person struggling to explain what they need. You do not have to decide what those concerns mean before asking about support. Start with the child’s age group and the general type of service you wish to discuss.
Foundations offers individual therapy across age groups, with team experience working with children, adolescents and families. Provider fit, current availability and service arrangements need to be confirmed by the office.
Different needs call for different conversations.
Counseling, parent guidance, school advocacy and family-transition services have different purposes. A family asking about support at school may need an advocacy conversation. A parent asking about a child’s relationship with another parent may need information about a specialized family service. The first step is to clarify the question, rather than assume one route fits every concern.
Team biographies describe approaches including play- and sand-tray-related work alongside other counseling methods. Ask the office which provider’s training and experience may be relevant; not every clinician offers every service.
Protect privacy from the beginning.
Use the website to share your own name, contact information and broad service interest. Do not include a child’s name, school records, diagnosis, legal documents or a private account of family events in a public inquiry. The office explains the appropriate intake and information-sharing process.
Participation, consent and any relevant family arrangements are clarified before services begin. An online request does not establish that a particular person can consent for someone else.
Make room for the practical questions.
You can ask about office or virtual options, school-day scheduling, parent involvement, fees and insurance. These details depend on the provider and service and should be discussed directly with the office.
If you are unsure whether the starting point is counseling, parent support or school advocacy, select “Help me choose.” You can begin with a simple question and decide on the next conversation with better information.
A little more clarity.
Do I need to send school or medical records with my inquiry?
No. Keep the public inquiry brief. Staff will explain whether records are needed and how to share them appropriately.
Can I ask about both counseling and school advocacy?
Yes. Explain that you want to understand the difference, and the office can help clarify the relevant routes.
