When a Donut Goes to Therapy follows a nervous Donut as he prepares for his first therapy session and discovers that therapy may not be as scary as he imagined. Once inside, he learns that therapy isn’t only about talking. Children might play with toys, draw, explore their feelings, and practice strategies that can help them feel better.

The story offers children a friendly, approachable picture of what therapy can look like while normalizing the nervousness or uncertainty they may feel before starting. It can be especially helpful for families preparing a child for their first therapy or play therapy appointment.
