Part 4: Do Kids Actually Open Up in Telehealth?
Ft. Dr. Wendy Rice & Dr. Amanda Cosgriff

One of the biggest questions parents ask us is,
“Will my child really talk to someone through a screen?”

The short answer: Yes — often more than you’d expect.

Kids and teens tend to open up when they feel safe, unpressured, and in control. Telehealth naturally gives them that. They’re in their own space, with their favorite things around them, and they don’t have to navigate the stress of a new office or unfamiliar environment.

We see shy kids warm up faster, anxious kids relax sooner, and teens appreciate the comfort and privacy of being at home. When the pressure drops, the talking starts.

If you’re wondering whether telehealth could be a good fit for your child, we offer complimentary 10‑minute consults and flexible telehealth appointments.

Kids don’t need a perfect script to benefit from therapy.
Sometimes they talk.
Sometimes they draw.
Sometimes they just need a safe space to breathe.

Telehealth lets kids open up from the comfort of home, where they feel most themselves. It’s flexible, gentle, and designed to meet them exactly where they are.

If your child has been more overwhelmed, more emotional, or just “not like themselves,” support is available.

✨ Telehealth appointments now open
✨ Complimentary 10‑minute consults for parents

You don’t have to figure it out alone, we’re here to help your child feel understood, supported, and steady again.

Just a quick reminder that sometimes the pep talk sounds like, “hey… we’re not doing great, but we’re still doing it!”
And that’s enough for today. 💙💛

Have a great week! -Marty 🐾

Part 3: What We Do in the First 5 Minutes
Ft. Dr. Wendy Rice & Dr. Amanda Cosgriff

The first few minutes of a telehealth session can make all the difference for an anxious or nervous child. Instead of diving straight into “Why are you here?” we focus on connection, comfort, and helping them feel seen before anything else.

Kids open up when they feel safe, and that starts with how we begin.

If you’re wondering whether telehealth could be a good fit for your child, we offer complimentary 10‑minute consults and telehealth appointments.

Kids don’t always have the words to explain what’s going on inside, so their feelings come out through behavior. Tantrums, withdrawal, irritability, clinginess, “attitude,” school refusal, these aren’t failures in parenting or signs that something is “wrong” with your child. They’re communication.

At Rice Psychology Group, we help families understand the why behind the behavior so you can respond with confidence instead of guesswork. When parents feel supported, kids feel safer, and that’s where real change begins.

✨ If you’re ready for clarity, support, and a plan that actually fits your child, we offer complimentary 10‑minute consults.
Telehealth appointments are available and easy to schedule.

We’re proud to announce that Dr. Wendy Rice has renewed her PSYPACT CERTIFICATION continuing her commitment to accessible, high-quality psychological care across state lines.

The Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT) allows licensed psychologists to provide telepsychology services and limited in-person care in participating states without needing separate licenses in each one. With more than 40 states participating, this certification helps break down geographic barriers to mental health care.

By renewing her PSYPACT CERTIFICATION Dr. Rice can continue to: Expand access to care for individuals in rural or underserved communities. Provide specialized psychological services to clients who may not have local access to those specialties. Maintain continuity of care for clients who relocate, travel, or attend school out of state. Uphold rigorous professional and ethical standards required by the PSYPACT regulatory framework.

Dr. Wendy Rice and Rice Psychology Group, continue to believe that quality mental health care should not be limited by geography. Dr. Rice’s PSYPACT authorization helps ensure that you and your loved ones can continue receiving trusted care, wherever life takes them.

“My child barely talks to me… why would they talk to a therapist on a screen?”

It’s one of the most common concerns we hear from parents.
But many kids actually feel safer opening up to someone who isn’t part of their daily routine. Telehealth lowers the pressure, they’re in their own space, not being watched, or corrected.

If you’d like to explore whether telehealth could be a good fit for your child, we offer complimentary 10‑minute consultations.

Meet three members of the Rice Psychology Group family:
Dr. Wendy Rice
Dr. Amanda Cosgriff who brings her compassion, clinical skill, and steady presence to every one of her telehealth sessions.

🐾And snuggled in between is Marty McDoodle, our almost 4 year old mini goldendoodle. Marty is officially on emotional‑support duty offering tail wags, gentle grounding, and the kind of calm only a doodle can bring.

Whether you or your child are navigating stress, challenges, ADHD, anxiety, or simply need a space to talk things through, our team is here to help you feel understood, supported, and never alone.

Sometimes it’s not one big behavior shift, it’s the small, subtle changes that tell you your child is carrying more than they can express.

Maybe they’re:

• A little quieter than usual
• Snapping over small things
• Avoiding schoolwork or activities they normally enjoy
• Struggling to fall asleep
• Saying “I don’t know” when you ask what’s wrong

These moments matter. And you don’t have to decode them alone.

At Rice Psychology Group, we help children, teens, and families understand what’s beneath the surface, so you can move from worry to clarity, and from overwhelm to a plan that actually helps.

✨ Telehealth appointments available
✨ Complimentary 10‑minute consults to help you decide your next step with confidence

You’re not overreacting. You’re paying attention, and that’s where healing starts.
