My dd(9) saw CAHMS last year due to phobia issues. She used to play/draw etc while the lady talked to her. Sometimes I stayed, sometimes I was asked to leave (that may depend on their age I guess). hth.

Not sure about the p but it's children and adolescents mental health services.

Yes family guy . Good luck.

Sorry. It did help in that they gave her coping strategies but she is by no means cured. I know phobias are tricky things as the behavoiur learned is so deeply programmed inside her. However she is much better for going.
