Child & Teen Therapy in Ann Arbor
A therapist your kid will actually talk to.
Kids and teens don’t come to therapy because they want to work on themselves. They come because something isn’t working and an adult noticed. The first job is making the room feel safe enough that they’ll say what’s going on. The second is helping you help them.
Who we see
Yes, we see children, not just teens. Forest Ferns works with kids, teens, and adults of every age, so a child can start here and never need to change practices.
Kids who are anxious, shut down, or melting down
Big feelings without the words for them yet. School refusal, sleep trouble, meltdowns that seem to come from nowhere.
Neurodivergent kids and teens
Autistic, ADHD, and otherwise neurodivergent young people. Affirming, not corrective. More on our Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy page.
Queer and trans youth
A place where identity isn’t the problem being treated. More on our LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy page.
Teens under real pressure
Grades, friendships, social media, a body that’s changing, a family that’s changing. Depression and anxiety that look like irritability or silence.
Kids in families under strain
Separation and divorce, a parent’s illness, a move, a loss, a deployment.
How parents fit in
You’re not sent to the waiting room. We’ll talk with you about what you’re seeing, agree on what your child’s therapy is for, and check in as it goes. We’ll also be clear from the start about what stays private between your child and their therapist, because that trust is what makes the work possible.
In person or online
Children and teens can be seen in person at our Ypsilanti office or online anywhere in Michigan. Many teens prefer video. For younger children, we’ll talk with you first about which format is the best fit.
Getting started
Reach out by text or form and tell us a little about your child and what’s been happening. We’ll match you with a clinician who works with their age and what they’re dealing with, and confirm your insurance coverage before the first session.
