Counseling Session Details

Each Counseling session at EmpowerED is thoughtfully designed to be engaging, effective, and supportive for both the child and their family. A typical session includes the following:

Building Trust and Understanding: The session begins with creating a safe, supportive space where the child feels comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. Activities or games may be used to build rapport and ease anxiety.

Exploring Challenges and Emotions: The therapist works with the child to identify emotions, discuss specific challenges, and develop strategies to address them. Techniques like role-playing, storytelling, or drawing may be used to help the child express themselves.

Developing Practical Coping Skills: Sessions often focus on teaching the child practical tools for managing emotions, improving social skills, and building self-confidence, with guidance for applying these skills in real-life situations.

Session Duration and Frequency:

  • Sessions typically last 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the child’s age and needs.
  • Therapy is conducted 1 to 3 times per week, with frequency determined by individual progress and therapy goals.
