We are a fully virtual practice, providing therapy for children, teens, and families who live and resdie in Michigan. Virtual care allows children to meet from a familiar environment, without the added stress of travel, waiting rooms, or transitions before a session.

For many children and teens, especially those with sensory sensitivities, anxiety, or busy family schedules, meeting from home can make therapy feel more accessible and easier to integrate into daily life.

The first session is a place to slow down and begin making sense of the full picture. We listen to what has brought your family here, learn about your child’s strengths, relationships, routines, school experiences, and the moments that have felt hardest to navigate. We also want to hear what you hope could become possible.

Depending on your child’s age and needs, the first session may include time with you, your child, or both. From there, we will begin shaping a plan that feels thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded in what matters most to your family.

Many children and teens feel uncertain about therapy at first, especially when they are not the one who asked for help. They do not need to arrive ready to open up or explain everything right away.

We take time to build trust, follow your child’s pace, and create a space where they can feel respected rather than managed. For some families, beginning with parent coaching or caregiver sessions helps create more understanding at home and makes therapy feel less threatening to a child over time.

Parents and caregivers are an important part of a child’s support system, and we want you to feel informed, supported, and better equipped to understand what your child may need. Children do not grow or heal in isolation, which is why we make room for the people, relationships, and routines that shape their daily life.

From the beginning, we will talk together about how parent involvement can best support care. Depending on your family’s needs, this may include parent sessions, parent coaching, family sessions, conversations about goals and general themes, or strategies that may be helpful to try between sessions.

We will also explain confidentiality and its limits clearly. Your child or teen needs room to build trust and speak openly with their therapist, while you remain meaningfully involved in the work and supported in the role you play at home.

Yes, with your consent. A child’s wellbeing is shaped by more than what happens in therapy, which is why collaboration can be an important part of care.

When helpful, we will connect with teachers, school counselors, pediatricians, psychiatrists, occupational therapists, and other providers involved in your child’s life. We can also help you think through school accommodations, communication with educators, and changes that may make home or school feel more manageable.

Yes. We offer weekday morning, afternoon and evening appointments, along with morning and afternoon appointments on weekends. Availability depends on the clinician. Let us know what times work for your family when you reach out.

Yes. Michigan Wellbeing Therapy Clinic offers virtual ADHD and comprehensive mental health assessments, along with consultations about treatment planning, neurodivergence, giftedness, sensory needs and school support. You can book these without starting ongoing therapy, and they can complement work with an existing therapist. We do not offer comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations.

For therapy, your child’s clinician must be licensed or otherwise authorized to provide care in the place where your child is physically located during each session. Clinicians who are licensed only in Michigan can meet with clients only while they are in Michigan, even if they are traveling temporarily.

Some coaching services may be available to families outside Michigan. If your child will be traveling or spending time in another state, please let us know before scheduling. We can clarify which services may be available and help you plan ahead.
