What is a clinical matching session?

It is a structured 45-minute appointment with a licensed pediatric mental health clinician to evaluate concerns, assess symptoms, and determine the most appropriate level of care.

    All available pathways are discussed so you understand what each involves.

  • Receive clear clinical recommendations

    You will receive personalized recommendations and, if ready, be matched with the right therapist, psychologist, or a psychiatric clinician.

This matching session is right for you if:

  • You feel overwhelmed by mental health options

    There are many types of care available. This session helps you understand which ones apply to your child.

  • You are unsure whether therapy alone is enough

    Some children benefit from therapy, others from medication, testing, or a combination. A clinician can help clarify.

  • You suspect ADHD or autism but are not certain

    If formal testing is needed, the clinician will recommend the appropriate evaluation pathway.

  • You want expert guidance before committing to treatment

    Starting with a clinical matching reduces guesswork and ensures your child receives the right support from the beginning.

Expert care for every stage of development

From early childhood through young adulthood, our clinicians specialize in age-specific needs. During your matching session, we determine the best provider and care path for your child's stage of life.

What happens after your session?

After your 45-minute session, you may choose to:

  • Begin therapy

    If therapy is the recommended next step, you can be matched with a therapist who specializes in your child's needs.

  • Start testing or medication evaluation

    If formal ADHD or autism testing is recommended, or if medication may be appropriate, the clinician will outline the process, timeline, and next steps.

  • Take time to consider your options

    There is no obligation to begin treatment immediately. You move forward when ready.

Frequently asked questions

No. A clinical matching session is a structured 45-minute clinical intake designed to evaluate your child’s needs and determine the most appropriate level of care.

While therapeutic conversation and psychoeducation may occur during the session, its primary purpose is assessment and care planning rather than ongoing therapy.

Based on the clinician’s evaluation, you may be matched with a therapist, referred for medication management, or recommended for ADHD or autism testing.

Yes, this is a formal clinical intake session conducted by a licensed clinician and may be covered by insurance depending on your plan. When you begin booking, you will receive an instant insurance estimate so you know what to expect before your appointment.

That is one of the reasons a clinical matching session is valuable. The clinician's role is to help you avoid unnecessary steps by providing a clear, evidence-based recommendation. If your child's needs change over time, adjustments can be made.

If you already know what your child needs, you can easily book therapy or testing directly. However, if you are uncertain, a clinical matching session ensures you start with the right service and avoid delays.

In some cases, a diagnosis may be made during intake. In other cases, further therapy, medication evaluation, or psychological testing may be recommended.

Appointments are typically available within a few days. After verifying your insurance coverage, you can select a time that works for your family and meet with a clinician virtually.
