Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and as a parent, you play a powerful role in helping your child get the most out of the process.

When children and teens face anxiety, stress, or emotional struggles, the right support can make all the difference. At Palo Alto Therapy, we’re here to guide your family every step of the way.

Therapy works best when it’s a team effort. Our therapists bring professional expertise, your child brings their unique strengths and experiences, and you bring your support, encouragement, and trust. Together, we help your child build confidence, develop new skills, and feel more in control of their life.

Our therapists are carefully selected through a rigorous process to ensure families receive exceptional care, not just a listening ear.

With more than 20 highly trained therapists, we offer specialized expertise in anxiety, OCD, depression, stress, and family challenges. We use evidence-based methods like CBT, ERP, and SPACE, which are proven to help children and teens make real, lasting progress.

Your role as a parent matters. Children often make the most progress when therapy continues beyond the session. That means celebrating small wins, reinforcing skills at home, and giving your child space to grow. Our therapists will keep you informed and involved in ways that strengthen your child’s progress without overwhelming them.

Getting started is simple. A short call with our care coordinator is often the easiest way to begin.

They’ll learn more about your child, answer your questions, and match you with the therapist who best fits your family’s needs. If calling isn’t your preference, we can do everything through email or our online form. Once matched, your child begins meeting with their therapist in person or online, depending on what works best for your schedule.

We’ve built our reputation on years of helping families feel back in control of their lives. Our premium private-pay model means you avoid long waitlists and insurance barriers, and you can count on personalized, flexible care.

Therapy success isn’t just about one person in the room — it’s about the partnership between your child, their therapist, and you. With the right support and approach, your child can feel less anxious, more confident, and more connected to everyday life.

Call or text (650) 461-9026 to get started. A stronger, more confident future for your child begins with a single step.
