QuestionI believe that my son is highly troubled and I think that counseling would do him good. Who do I speak with to get a family counseling referral? Do I need a referral?
AnswerYou can speak with his pediatrician. If they can't help you, try and speak with the school counselor, they can usually help you find the appropriate counselor. You shouldn't need a referral for insurance purposes.
QuestionMy son is showing signs of being depressed. His counselor said that we should consider family counseling. We do not want to include our 8 year old daughter if we do not have to since we do not want to bring her down. Who should all go to family counseling?
