Many parents ask us, “What should I tell my child before their first counseling appointment?”

​

It’s a great question—and one that inspired our founder and Director of Growth, Kara Kohnen, LMFT, to create a helpful resource. Kara wrote books designed specifically for children and teens to understand counseling in a positive, age-appropriate way.

​

These books explain what therapy is, why it’s helpful, and how building a relationship with a counselor can be a healthy and empowering experience.

​

Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, teacher, or clinician, these books are a wonderful tool to support young people on their mental health journey.
