Support After a Day Care Injury
Support after a day care injury is aimed at the parents. Handing your child to someone else and having them come back hurt strikes at something fundamental, and the guilt that follows is rarely proportionate to any actual fault.

What people describe
You may recognise some of this
- Guilt about having left your child there at all
- Intrusive thoughts about what happened while you were away
- Inability to trust any childcare arrangement afterwards
- Tension with a partner about the decision to use that provider
- Anxiety about returning to work
None of this is a diagnosis, and you do not need to tick every line to be worth treating.
A clear note on scope: PITT has not confirmed whether it treats minors, so this page does not claim to. Tell us who needs care and we will confirm who we are able to see before anything is arranged.
For parents, the injury is usually experienced as a failure of their own judgement, even where nothing they did contributed to it. That guilt is the most common presenting issue after a day care incident and it responds well to treatment.
There is a practical knot as well. Many families depend on childcare to work, so the loss of trust collides with an economic necessity, and parents end up having to place their child somewhere while still frightened. That bind is worth working through rather than enduring.
What this costs
Payment here depends on the situation, so we talk it through before anything starts. Where there is a personal-injury claim behind it we can often work on a lien, with nothing upfront. Where there is not, we will tell you plainly what the options are rather than leave you guessing.
How $0-upfront care worksFor attorneys & referral partners
Please note we have not confirmed a scope of practice covering minors, so do not refer a child on the assumption we can treat them. We can support parents and family members, and we will tell you plainly what we can take on. Funding is agreed at the outset rather than assumed.

Questions people ask
Can you treat my child?
We will confirm that with you directly rather than promise it here. Tell us who needs care and we will be clear about whether we are the right fit.
Why do I feel so guilty when I was not even there?
Because leaving them there was your decision, and the mind attaches responsibility to the decision rather than to the person who was actually at fault. It is extremely common and it is treatable.
I cannot bring myself to use childcare again.
That is a very common after-effect, and it collides with needing to work. It is workable, and it is a good reason to get support rather than push through.
Will my therapist be licensed in my state?
Yes. Therapy is licensed state by state, so we match you with a clinician licensed where you live. We confirm that licensure before your first session.
Is online trauma therapy as effective as in-person care?
Research shows telehealth trauma therapy can be just as effective as in-person care for most people, while removing barriers like travel and time off work during recovery.
Can my attorney refer me?
Yes. We coordinate with personal-injury attorneys and medical providers who refer patients, and we keep the legal and clinical sides aligned.
