"Where FAMILY connections GROW and THRIVE"
Frequently Asked Questions
Are all the services provided with Youthful Connections virtual? Is virtual therapy just as good as in office therapy?
Yes, all services are currently provided in a virtual format and yes, virtual therapy is just as effective as if you were going to visit your therapist in the office. Benefits of virtual therapy and virtual services include: convenience, flexibility, comfort, security, and access to care. However, with every benefit, there are also risks that one needs to be aware of that may include: lack of research, security/confidentiality, and technology failure.

Can I enroll in one-on-one parent coaching without enrolling in the Certified Breakthrough Parenting Program?
No, unfortunately at this time one-on-one parent coaching is reserved for individuals who are currently enrolled in the Certified Breakthrough Parenting Program (CBPP) that require additional support and assistance with achieving their goals and meeting their needs. The one-on-one parenting portion does REQUIRE a fee and is time limited. In later months, Youthful Connections will be launching a Parenting Program that will focus on meeting the needs of Parents in a solo capacity rather than group setting.
