School Based Therapy in Sioux Falls, SD
At Encompass Mental Health, we believe that mental health support should be as accessible as possible. For many families, the logistical hurdle oftraveling to an office can be the biggest barrier to consistent care. That’s why our trained therapists meet children where they spend most of their day: in their school or daycare environment.
By providing individual therapy services on-site, we ensure your child receives the high-quality care they need while protecting your family’s time and your child’s routine.
Bringing High-Quality, Individualized Care Directly to Your Child’s School or Daycare
Why Choose On-Site Therapy?
1. High Quality of Specialized Care
Our therapists are highly trained in child development and play therapy. By working with your child in their natural environment, we gain unique insights into their social interactions and triggers, allowing us to tailor our 1:1 sessions to the real-world challenges they face every day.
2. Less Travel, More Time
Forget the stress of rushing across town mid-day. Because our therapists come to you, there is zero travel time for parents and children. We bring the clinical expertise and the therapeutic tools directly to your child.
3. Less Missed Work for Parents
We know that balancing a career and a child’s developmental needs is a difficult juggling act. On-site services mean you don't have to use your PTO or leave work early for weekly appointments. You can stay focused on your day knowing your child is receiving professional support in a safe, familiar place.
4. Less Missed School for Children
When therapy happens at school or daycare, the "pull-out" time is minimal. Your child doesn't have to miss half a day of learning or social play for a single appointment. They simply step into a private session and return to their classroom confident and supported.
