Why therapy in your home?

Sometimes the best place for therapy is the place where your family already feels safe: your home. Therapy in your home from Northeast Family Services brings a team of an in-home therapy provider and a therapeutic training and support worker directly to you. There is no need to coordinate transportation, take time off work, or get everyone out the door on time.

Our providers work with children, teens, and families dealing with behavioral challenges, emotional difficulties, trauma, and family conflict. Sessions happen in the living room, at the kitchen table, or wherever your family feels most at ease. Because your provider sees you in your environment, they gain a deeper understanding of your family that an office visit simply cannot provide.

  • What to expect

You will work with a team, offering a combination of in-home therapy and therapeutic training and support. Your team will work with your family to improve the family’s ability to provide effective support in promoting your child’s healthy functioning with the family.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is In-Home Therapy?

It is a behavioral health service where a team of an in-home therapy provider and a therapeutic training and support worker comes to your home to provide individual or family therapeutic services. It is especially helpful for children and families who benefit from support in their natural environment rather than a clinical office.

Do I need a referral to get started?

No referral is required to contact us. Fill out our form, and we will guide you through the process, including any program eligibility steps for your state.

How quickly can we get started?

Families are matched with a provider as soon as possible. Please contact us for more information about your state.

Is this service available in New Hampshire?

Therapy in your home is not publicly available in New Hampshire through Northeast Family Services.

How is this different from telehealth?

Telehealth is therapy over video from wherever you are. Therapy in your home means a provider physically comes to your home. Both have real advantages depending on your family's needs.
