How to choose a child and teen therapist
- Check the license with the state or provincial board that issued it; most boards publish a free online lookup.
- Make sure child and adolescent therapy is a regular part of their work, and ask what approach they use and why.
- Ask how much of the work is with the child alone and how much includes parents or caregivers.
- For ADHD, learning or autism assessments, ask who does the testing and whether a written report is included.
- Ask about fees, insurance and the cancellation policy before the first session. In the US, if you are uninsured or paying yourself, you can ask for a good faith estimate of expected charges.
- Check practical fit: in-person or online sessions, evening times, and how soon they have an opening.
- After a few sessions, ask yourself whether you feel heard. Changing to a different provider is common and fine.

The median Google rating among 126 rated child and teen therapists in South Peabody is 4.7★, with a median of 12 reviews. Thrive Boston Counseling and Psychotherapy has the most, 171 reviews, and ranks #19. We adjust ratings for review count, so a few five-star reviews cannot top the list.
How does RankedPsychologists rank child and teen therapists?
Each child and teen therapist gets a 0–100 RP Score from eight published factors, led by reputation (25%), specialty focus (25%), proximity (15%) and availability (10%). A practice with no Google reviews scores zero on rating, review volume and recency; other factors we cannot measure are left out. Only practices with a confirmed specialty and 3 or more reviews, or a claimed profile, are ranked.
Do child and teen therapists outside South Peabody count in this ranking?
Yes, if they are within 25 mi of the South Peabody city center, our service radius for child and teen therapists. Each listing shows where the practice is based and how far away it is. Proximity is 15% of the RP Score, so a nearby practice gets a small edge.
Can child and teen therapists pay to rank higher on RankedPsychologists?
No. The RP Score never reads payment status, and this ranking has 0 paid placements. Up to 3 Featured practices may appear above the list, labelled Sponsored and showing their honest rank.
How are child and teen therapists in South Peabody ranked?
Each practice gets an RP Score from 0 to 100 from 8 published factors, including its Google rating, how clearly it focuses on child and adolescent therapy and how close it is. Sponsored placements are shown separately and never change rank. The score does not measure treatment outcomes.
Can a teenager start therapy without a parent?
It depends on where you live. The age at which a young person can agree to outpatient mental health care on their own differs between states and provinces. Ask the practice how it handles consent and what it shares with parents.
Can I see a child and teen therapist online?
Often, yes. Licensing generally follows where you are during the session, so the provider needs to be licensed or authorized there. In the US, psychologists in PSYPACT member states can offer telepsychology to clients in other member states; counselors and social workers have their own rules. In Canada, ask whether the provider is registered in your province.
What if I need help right now?
Do not wait for a consultation. Call or text 988 (US and Canada) if you are in crisis or thinking about suicide, at any time. In an emergency, call 911.
