Child Counseling

How to get help

Call 210-384-1254, email [email protected], or submit the official Request an Appointment form. The practice first schedules an intake with the parent or guardian to review concerns, recent changes, and goals, then matches the child with an available clinician.

Who this service helps

Children with anxiety, depression, behavior concerns, trauma, difficult life changes, social or friendship problems, low self-esteem, grief, or related needs appropriate for outpatient counseling. Parent or guardian participation begins with the intake and continues during treatment.

Where this service is available

Service area: In-person care at Monarch Behavioral Health's San Antonio office in Bexar County; virtual sessions may be available in some cases, although the provider notes that younger children often benefit from in-person care.

A service area describes where help is offered or who may be served. It is not necessarily the organization’s physical location.

Cost / fees

Published self-pay therapy fees are $190 for a doctorate-level clinician, $130 for a licensed master's-level clinician, and $90 for a provisionally licensed associate; student practicum services may use a sliding scale. Multiple insurance plans are accepted, but not every clinician accepts every plan. Verify benefits, network status, and the exact fee before scheduling.

About this service

Monarch Behavioral Health provides child therapy using conversation, games, creative activities, play and sand-tray methods, emotional-regulation and coping exercises, and ongoing parent collaboration. The official page also says the practice may coordinate with educators when the parent or guardian consents.
