Trauma Focused CBT
Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an evidence-based treatment approach designed to help children, adolescents, and young adults process traumatic experiences. This specialized therapy helps clients develop coping strategies, understand their trauma responses, and build resilience. Our clinicians are specifically trained in TF-CBT to provide effective, trauma-informed care that addresses the emotional and psychological impacts of adverse childhood experiences.
Parent Child Interaction Therapy
Parent Child Interaction Therapy combines child-directed and parent-directed interaction techniques to strengthen family relationships and improve child behavior. This evidence-based treatment works with caregivers and children aged 2-7 to develop positive parenting skills and reduce behavioral issues. Our therapists guide families through structured sessions that enhance communication and emotional connection while addressing trauma-related concerns.
Child Parent Psychotherapy
Child Parent Psychotherapy is a trauma-informed intervention designed for children up to age 5 who have experienced traumatic events with their primary caregiver. This approach focuses on strengthening the child-caregiver relationship while addressing emotional and behavioral difficulties. Our clinicians work with families to heal trauma and develop healthy attachment patterns through play-based, relationship-focused therapeutic techniques.
Psychiatric Medication Management
Our psychiatric medication management service provides comprehensive assessment and treatment of mental health conditions through appropriate medication use. Board-certified psychiatric professionals monitor medication effectiveness, manage side effects, and coordinate care with therapists. This service is integrated with our evidence-based therapies to create comprehensive treatment plans addressing both biological and psychological aspects of trauma recovery.
Early Childhood Mental Health
Our Early Childhood Mental Health program focuses on infants, toddlers, and preschoolers experiencing behavioral, emotional, or developmental challenges. Using specialized interventions, therapists work with families to address trauma impacts and promote healthy development. Services include caregiver education, therapeutic play, and relationship-building strategies to support the youngest clients in their formative years.
