Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my child needs therapy?
Therapy is not a one size fits all. This is why Dr. Crewdson tailors her treatment to the specific child after the initial intake session. Children may benefit from therapy for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to: difficulty getting along with other children, anxiety, depression, difficulty completing schoolwork/focusing, and adapting to life changes. Dr. Crewdson recommends that you call the office (770-352-9952) to speak with our intake coordinator about whether or not therapy is right for your child.
What kind of therapy does Dr. Crewdson offer?
Dr. Crewdson offers talk therapy, most closely aligned with CBT. CBT (or Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy) focuses on shifting the perspective of negative thoughts to a new positive and more productive outlook. This, in turn, helps children learn to become problem solvers and engage less in catastrophic thinking.
