I use games, stories, and coping skills to help children express themselves, build confidence, and practice new skills at home and school.

Frequently asked questions
What does our first session look like?
We’ll talk about what brought you here, what your child enjoys, and what you hope will change. I’ll explain how sessions work and make time for questions.
How often will you communicate with me as a parent?
I’ll make time for caregiver updates and collaboration after each session. We can discuss a communication plan that fits your child’s and your needs and respects their privacy.
How will I know if therapy is working?
We’ll set goals together and look for changes in everyday life, such as naming feelings, using coping skills, or handling challenges with more confidence.
Do you give homework or practice between sessions?
Sometimes we’ll choose a small skill to practice at home, such as a calming exercise or a new way to communicate. It will fit your family’s routine.
How do you decide together when therapy is done?
We’ll review the goals, the skills your child can use, and how things are going at home and school. We’ll plan for ending therapy together when the time is right.
What if my child or teen won't open up to you?
That’s okay. Trust takes time. I use conversation, activities, and your child’s interests to help them feel comfortable without pressure to share everything right away.
Is Ashley Stiger-Coward accepting new clients?
Yes, but Ashley Stiger-Coward has no open times right now. Similar therapists with open times are listed below.
