Getting started is simple.

1. Complete our work with us form or contact our office.

2. Our team will learn more about your child's age, concerns, scheduling needs, and preferences.

3. We'll thoughtfully match your family with the therapist who is the best fit.

4. We'll verify your insurance benefits (if applicable) and help schedule your first appointment.

Our goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible so your family can focus on what matters most.

Rather than asking families to choose a therapist on their own, we take the time to help match you with the provider who best fits your child's age, presenting concerns, personality, scheduling needs, and treatment goals.

Children ages 10-13 are currently seen by Courtni Lovell, who specializes in working with children, tweens, and families. Our additional therapists work with teens ages 14 and older.

If you have preferences regarding a therapist's specialty, personality, or treatment approach, we're happy to take those into consideration during the matching process.

The first session is an opportunity for your therapist to get to know your child and understand your family's concerns. For some concerns, such as an eating disorder, it is a time to also assess needs for support and provide recommendations, if applicable.

Depending on your child's age and needs, the first visit may include time with both the parent and child together, as well as individual time with your child or teen. We'll also discuss goals for therapy and answer any questions you may have about the process.

Yes. We believe parents and caregivers are an essential part of a child's support system.

The level of parent involvement depends on your child's age, developmental stage, and treatment goals. While we also provide children and teens with a safe, confidential space to express themselves, we collaborate with parents to strengthen communication, reinforce skills at home, and support lasting progress.

Absolutely.

One of the things that makes Bamboo Nutrition & Therapy unique is our collaborative approach to care. With your permission, we can coordinate with pediatricians, physicians, psychiatrists, dietitians, schools, teachers, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and other members of your child's support team to ensure everyone is working toward the same goals.

We believe children make the greatest progress when the people supporting them are connected.

We will never reach out to other providers without your consent on a signed Release of Information. This is one of the first pieces of paperwork you will receive and it can always be updated throughout our work together.

Self-pay rates vary depending on the therapist providing services.

We will review self pay rates when discussing which therapist you will be working with.

For insurance information, please visit our Therapy Rates & Insurance page. If you have questions about your coverage or payment options, our administrative team is happy to help.

Many of our therapists are in-network with a variety of commercial insurance plans.

Because participation varies by provider, we'll verify your benefits before your first appointment and explain any expected out-of-pocket costs.

Our therapists are out of network with Medicaid and Medicare plans. We can provide a superbill upon request and have discounted spots available.

This is more common than many parents realize.

Our therapists work hard to build trust and create an environment where children and teens feel respected, understood, and empowered. We never force conversations before a child is ready, and we meet each young person where they are. As comfort and trust grow, meaningful progress often follows.

Instead of focusing only on symptoms, we focus on the whole child. Our therapists partner with families and collaborate with physicians, dietitians, schools, psychiatrists, and other trusted providers to create individualized care that supports emotional, physical, and relational well-being. We believe that when children feel understood and the adults around them are working together, lasting change becomes possible.
