Why Parents Choose Kin

Therapy that teens actually keep showing up for

The right therapist, a schedule that fits real life, and a plan you can understand.

Matched, Not Assigned

We pair your teen with a therapist based on their age, what they're going through, and the kind of person they'll actually open up to. If the fit is off, we'll change it.

Licensed Teen Specialists

Every session is with a licensed clinician (LCSW, LMHC, PhD) who works with adolescents day in and day out — not a generalist seeing kids on the side.

One Steady Hour a Week

The same therapist, the same time each week, from home. A predictable routine that fits around school, sports, and family — no commute.

Parents Stay Informed

Your teen gets privacy to speak freely. You get clear guidance on what to watch for and how to help at home — without therapy becoming a weekly report card.

The Right Level of Care

Is weekly 1:1 therapy the right fit?

This is individual outpatient therapy — usually one session a week. It helps when your teen is getting through daily life, but something keeps getting in the way.

A good fit when

Weekly therapy can help your teen who is…

  • Pulling back from friends, family, or things they used to enjoy
  • Stuck in worry, panic, irritability, or a low mood
  • Dealing with school stress, avoidance, or low motivation
  • Stable enough to practice new skills between sessions
May need more support

A higher level of care may be safer if there's…

  • An immediate safety concern or active suicidal intent
  • A recent hospitalization with a step-down plan in place
  • Self-harm, eating, or substance risk that needs closer monitoring
  • A need for several therapy hours each week

Not sure which one your teen needs? That's exactly what the first call is for. If weekly therapy isn't enough, we'll tell you and point you toward the right next step — including our teen IOP when more support is needed.

"We'd tried therapy before and it went nowhere. This time the match actually clicked. She looks forward to her hour now instead of dreading it."

What You Can Expect As A Parent

Privacy for your teen. Clarity for you.

Teens need room to speak freely. Parents still need to know whether things are improving, what to watch for, and when to step in. Good therapy makes both true at once.

  • Parent input before and around the first session
  • Clear safety expectations set from day one
  • Practical next steps when school, sleep, or conflict at home is part of the problem
  • An honest heads-up if your teen ever needs more than weekly care
Common Questions

Questions parents ask before starting

How is this different from Kin's IOP?

This page is for individual outpatient therapy — usually one session per week, one-on-one with a therapist. Our IOP is a higher level of care with several hours of treatment each week, including group sessions. The first call is where we help you figure out which one your teen needs.

Will parents be part of therapy?

Yes — just not in every minute of every session. Your teen needs privacy to be honest, so the therapist balances that with parent guidance, safety updates, and practical planning. You'll know how things are going and what helps at home, without it becoming a weekly report card.

What if my teen refuses therapy?

That's common, and it's okay. On the first call we can talk through how to introduce therapy so it doesn't feel like a punishment. Often the first goal is simply getting your teen to try one conversation — the right therapist match does a lot of the rest.

Can weekly therapy help with anxiety or depression?

For many teens, yes. Weekly 1:1 therapy can help with anxiety, low mood and depression symptoms, stress, irritability, and avoidance. The intake call is where we check whether once-a-week therapy is the right level — and we'll say so if your teen would be safer with more support.

How much does it cost?

We accept all insurance plans. Our team verifies your benefits and tells you exactly what each session will cost before your teen's first appointment — no surprises after the fact.

What if it turns out my teen needs more help?

If weekly therapy isn't enough, we'll tell you honestly and help you step up to the right level of care — including our teen IOP — rather than leaving you to figure it out alone. Starting with a call costs you nothing and gives you a clearer picture either way.

Talk with someone before you decide

A short, no-pressure call can tell you whether weekly 1:1 therapy is the right fit, how your insurance applies, and what the first session looks like.
