Our Process
At Kincove, we recognize how daunting the first steps toward support can feel. That’s why our process is designed to be empathetic, transparent, and carefully structured to support both adolescents and their families. We begin by matching each teen or young adult with a clinician who aligns with their unique needs, while ensuring parents always have clarity and guidance along the way. Our goal is simple: create a secure, trusted path toward emotional growth, connection, and wellbeing.
How it Works
-
First, you’ll start with a free 20-minute consultation call, during which you’ll share your primary concerns and goals, learn more about our approach, and decide whether Kincove feels like a good fit for your family.
-
Next, we meet with our Clinical Director, in person or via Zoom, to conduct a more in-depth assessment. Together, we explore your teen’s history, strengths, challenges, and family context. From this, we design a personalized plan and identify the modalities most likely to help (such as individual therapy, family therapy, neurofeedback, or group work). We then carefully match your adolescent with a therapist whose specialty and style align with this plan.
-
Once the match is made, an intake session brings together the adolescent and their parent(s). This first session establishes rapport, clarifies expectations, and deepens understanding of the youth’s concerns, strengths, and goals. Together, we construct a living treatment plan with measurable goals and recommended modalities.
-
After intake, therapy begins. Depending on the treatment plan, your teen may engage in individual therapy, family therapy, group sessions, or neurofeedback / specialized modalities. Each service is tailored to their evolving needs, and we remain responsive as progress unfolds.
-
Finally, throughout treatment, we maintain ongoing goal and progress tracking. Therapists conduct regular check-ins, track growth using validated assessments and, when applicable, neurofeedback data, and solicit feedback from both adolescent and parent to fine-tune the approach.
We’re committed to ensuring every adolescent feels seen, supported, and empowered throughout each phase of their growth.
Throughout this process there will also be…
Parental Involvement
We believe insight and healing happen best when caregivers are involved. You’ll meet regularly with your child’s therapist to review progress, learn strategies to support change at home, and address concerns. In more intensive situations or with younger adolescents, parent sessions may occur weekly; in other cases, the cadence may be less frequent. Through collaboration, you remain informed, empowered, and able to reinforce your adolescent’s growth.
Progress Tracking & Adaptation
From the outset, we use evidence-based tools to measure where your teenager is emotionally, behaviorally, and cognitively. These baseline measures guide the direction of therapy. Around week eight, we reassess using the same tools to evaluate progress and adjust goals and strategies as needed. This data-driven approach ensures therapy remains responsive to shifts over time, celebrating milestones and modulating direction when needed.
Ongoing Support
At every stage, from consultation to continued therapy, Kincove is committed to guiding your adolescent toward greater emotional strength and family harmony. We strive to create a safe, adaptive environment where your teen can explore challenges, build resilience, and thrive. When you’re ready to take the first step, we’re here to walk with you.
