How our Optional Care Model Works at Tree of Life
Still therapy. More support.
At Tree of Life Children’s Center, therapy remains at the center of care.
Our optional care program adds support around therapy so your child and family are not carrying everything alone between sessions. Depending on your child’s needs, that may include care coordination, groups, practical resources, caregiver support, and help from a broader care team.
We are currently enrolling a limited number of participants.
What stays the same
Your child still works with a licensed therapist.
Their therapist remains responsible for their clinical care.
Therapy is provided ethically and within scope.
Insurance can still be used for therapy sessions when applicable.
This program supports therapy. It does not replace it.
What is different
The difference is that your child’s care does not have to depend on one therapy hour each week alone.
With this model, your family may also receive:
support between sessions
guidance from a broader care team
groups and educational resources
caregiver support and coordination
help staying connected to treatment goals over time
The goal is not more for the sake of more.
The goal is better support, better continuity, and care that carries into daily life.
Why families choose this
For many families, therapy is meaningful in session but harder to carry into everyday life at home, at school, and in relationships.
This care model is designed to help bridge that gap by offering more support between appointments, more continuity over time, and a team that stays connected to your child’s progress.

Who this may be for
This may be a good fit if your family wants:
support beyond a single weekly session
care that can adapt as your child’s needs change
a team that stays oriented to your child’s progress
support that helps therapy carry into daily life
an option whether or not you have insurance

Q and A
Is this still therapy?
Yes. Your child still works with a licensed therapist, and their therapist remains responsible for their clinical care. This program is designed to support therapy, not replace it.
What is different about this model?
The main difference is that care does not have to depend on one therapy hour alone. Depending on your child’s needs, your family may also receive support between sessions, groups, practical resources, caregiver support, and help from a broader care team.
Who will my child be working with?
Your child will still have a therapist. Depending on the level of care, your family may also have support from other members of the Tree of Life care team.
Will parents or caregivers be involved?
Often, yes. At the Children’s Center, caregiver involvement is an important part of care. Depending on your child’s needs, support may include parent guidance, coordination, and resources that help therapy carry into everyday life.
What kinds of support might be available between sessions?
Support may include check-ins, care coordination, groups, educational resources, caregiver support, and help staying connected to treatment goals between appointments.
Do all families use every kind of support?
No. Support is based on your child’s needs and what is likely to be helpful. Not every family will use every option.
Do we still see a therapist regularly?
Many families do. Some children receive weekly or biweekly therapy along with added support. Others may have therapist oversight with therapy scheduled based on clinical need. We will help determine what makes the most sense for your child’s care.
Do we have to join a group?
Not always. Groups may be one part of support, but recommendations depend on your child’s needs, goals, and level of care.
Can our level of support change over time?
Yes. One of the benefits of this model is that care can adjust as needs change over time. If your child or family needs more support for a season, or less support later on, we can talk through what fits best.
Can we use insurance?
Yes, when applicable, insurance may still be used for psychotherapy sessions. We will explain how this works as part of the intake process.
What does the monthly fee cover?
The monthly fee covers the added structure and support available through this care model. This may include care coordination, between-session support, groups, resources, and ongoing connection to your child’s treatment plan.
Is this only for families with insurance?
No. This model may be a fit whether or not you have insurance. We can help you understand your options.
Is this a good fit if we are only looking for one-time or short-term services?
Probably not. This model is designed for families who are looking for ongoing care, continuity, and support over time.
What if we are not sure which support option is right for us?
That is completely okay. The next step is simply a conversation. We will help you understand your options and decide what level of support makes the most sense for your child and family.
What happens next if we are interested?
You can reach out to schedule a conversation with our team. We will talk through your child’s needs, answer your questions, and help you decide whether this care model feels like the right fit.
