"Does my child need me in the room for therapy?"

It’s one of the most common questions we hear from parents - and the answer isn’t one-size-fits-all.

After the initial appointment, parental involvement may vary based on different factors:
➡️ Younger kids often benefit from having you in the room for support, modeling, and shared strategies.
➡️ Teens may need private space to build trust and learn to navigate things independently.
➡️ No matter their age, your role outside the therapy room still matters deeply.

In this post, we’re breaking down 4 key ways parents can support the therapy process, whether you’re sitting beside your child or cheering them on from the sidelines.

💬 Have questions about your family’s unique situation? We’re here to help.

🧲✨ In honor of , we're celebrating creative tools that help children express themselves - one feeling at a time!

With one of our favorite therapy tools, kids use magnet emojis on a baking sheet to show how they feel. It might look simple, but this small activity gives us big insights. By seeing which emojis a child chooses for each setting, we can begin to understand what environments feel safe, stressful, exciting, or overwhelming.

Sometimes, kids don’t have the words to describe what they’re feeling, but they do know which emoji fits. This playful, hands-on approach opens the door to deeper conversations and helps us support them in meaningful ways 💬💛

Curious how therapy could help your child? We’re here when you’re ready 🤝😊

🎨 “Isn’t play-based therapy just for kids?”
That’s a common question - and a totally valid one.

Play is often associated with younger clients, but creative tools like art, movement, metaphor, and imagination can be just as powerful for adults. Especially when words alone aren’t enough.

In therapy, play means approaching your inner world with curiosity, flexibility, and new ways of expression — something many adults deeply need after years of stress, trauma, or emotional shutdown.

🧠 Creative approaches can:
• Deepen insight
• Support nervous system regulation
• Help process stuck or unspoken emotions
• Reintroduce joy, curiosity, and self-compassion into the healing process

At GHW, we blend talk therapy with creative, body-based, and experiential tools — always in a way that fits your needs.
