Common questions
How involved will I be as a parent?
It depends on your child's age and the approach. Many clinicians hold regular parent check-ins, and some models include parents directly in sessions. Each clinician will explain their approach during a consultation.
What ages do these clinicians see?
Age ranges vary. Each profile lists the age groups the clinician works with, and the directory filters can narrow results by age.
How does Tandem verify these child & teen therapists?
Before anyone is listed, Tandem confirms an active California license, documented training in their stated specialty, and the state licensing board record. Profiles are reviewed again when anything changes.
Do these clinicians offer telehealth across California?
Most do. Each profile lists session formats, whether in person, telehealth, or both, along with office locations.
