Therapy for School Avoidance & School Refusal based in St. Charles, IL

Refusing or avoiding school can be stressful for both children and their families, often linked to anxiety, social challenges, or difficulty managing transitions. At Hopeology PLLC, we help you understand the underlying causes of school refusal and develop practical strategies to support your child’s engagement and well-being.

Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to identify and explore the root causes of school avoidance and help your child feel more confident, motivated, and engaged in school.

Through a combination of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), exposure techniques, and parent coaching, we work with families to reduce anxiety, improve coping skills, and create a supportive plan that encourages attendance, confidence, and success at school.
