Let the apple fall on your head: Expanding horizons in psychological intervention with children and adolescents

This paper explores the expansion of therapeutic settings in psychological interventions with children and adolescents, emphasizing the importance of adapting the therapeutic relationship to diverse environments. Traditional office spaces are increasingly supplemented by alternative settings, including digital environments, natural spaces, and urban landscapes, as therapists seek to meet clients where they are most comfortable. These approaches challenge established boundaries in therapy, requiring a flexible and pragmatic mindset. The paper discusses the benefits and challenges of these expanded settings, addressing issues of safety, ethical considerations, and the evolving role of the therapist. By embracing this expanded view of therapeutic settings, psychologists can foster more meaningful connections and offer more personalized effective interventions that reflect the realities of contemporary children's and adolescents' lives.  Key words: Therapeutic settings, child and adolescent counseling, digital environments, ecological perspective, therapeutic flexibility.
