What to Expect
Reaching out for support for your child can feel like a big step. The process here is designed to be straightforward, low-pressure, and honest.
Getting Started
Reach Out
Use the contact form or email to share a bit about what's going on for your child. You don't need to have everything figured out. A general sense of your concerns is enough.
Schedule a Consultation
We'll set up a brief phone consultation to talk about your child, answer your questions, and figure out together whether Freeform Studio feels like a good fit. This is also your chance to ask me anything.
Begin Sessions
If it feels right, we'll schedule ongoing sessions and begin working together.
What Sessions Look Like
Sessions are 50 minutes and take place at Freeform Studio in Stillwater. The work is active, hands-on, and responsive to what each child needs on a given day. Some sessions involve building or making. Some involve being outdoors. Some involve more conversation. Many involve a mix.
There's no standard session structure because there's no standard kid. Rose reads what each child needs in the moment and adapts. The approach might look completely different from one week to the next. The most important therapeutic moments often happen when a child feels free enough to go wherever they need to go.
For Parents
Parents are an important part of this process, especially with younger children. I work collaboratively with families while also creating a safe and trusting therapeutic space for the child or teen. My goal is to keep you informed and involved in a way that respects your child's privacy and the trust they're building in therapy.
Reaching out can feel vulnerable, and I take that seriously. My aim is to make the process feel respectful, clear, and supportive from the very first conversation.
Common Questions
This is a private-pay practice, and I do not bill insurance directly.
Working outside the insurance model gives me the flexibility to meet each child where they are, not where a diagnosis or billing code says they should be. Every child is a unique blend of strengths, challenges, and experiences. Private pay allows me to work with the whole child rather than treating a label, and to use the approaches that are actually the best fit rather than the ones a system requires. It also means greater privacy and more individualized care for your family.
I work with children and teens.
This is experiential, hands-on therapy. Depending on the child and the session, the work might involve art-making, building projects, outdoor exploration, movement, sensory-based activities, or conversation. The approach is tailored to each child. There's no single method or protocol. Your child doesn't need any special skills or interests. They just need to show up.
Yes. The work here is hands-on and experiential, which is central to the approach. Sessions take place in person in Stillwater.
Reach out through the contact form or by email. From there, we'll schedule a brief consultation to talk through your concerns and see if Freeform Studio feels like the right fit for your child.
