All kids deserve kind, safe, welcoming places to grow.

Outpatient Therapy

Bringing hope to youth and families with tailored treatment

Find expert, tailored mental health counseling

Our compassionate, experienced therapists help families with a wide range of concerns, including school adjustment problems, depression, anxiety, difficulty dealing with loss or family changes, abuse, traumatic events, attention problems, parent-child conflicts and acting-out behaviors.

The program starts with assessment, which ensures that the treatment plan is customized to each child’s needs. Families show up with a wide range of emotional, behavioral, developmental or social concerns for our team to help them navigate. The team creates hope as kids and their families build on strengths and gain skills to be successful together at home, in school and in the community.

Childhood can be a stressful journey for children and caregivers

Our compassionate, experienced therapists can guide you through challenging times. They tap into a family’s strengths and resilience through individual and family therapy helping with a wide range of concerns, including school adjustment problems, depression, anxiety, difficulty dealing with loss or family changes, abuse, traumatic events, attention problems, parent-child conflicts and acting-out behaviors.

Culturally responsive and affirming assessment and treatment is available for children and teens (through age 20 and living with caregivers/under caregiver’s insurance and care) who are experiencing emotional, behavioral, developmental or social problems. Therapy focuses on building a child’s strengths and gaining skills to be successful at home, in school and in the community.

Outpatient Therapy helps youth to learn about themselves

Over the past year, 8-year-old Anna engaged in play therapy in order to learn to express and regulate her feelings in the medium kids naturally choose for communication: play. Anna could get wiggly and shout, “That’s enough! That’s enough!” when her dad or therapist would encourage her to express her feelings and needs in in-person play therapy sessions

In one of their first telehealth sessions, her therapist and parents were all astounded by how Anna opened up. She showed growth from her year-long therapy work and revealed she could articulate feelings, share developments about relationships and tell stories about “scavenger hunt walks that boost my mood!”

Anna opened up about feelings of sadness and missing friends and teachers. This strong and resilient child had made great strides in understanding, expressing, and managing her feelings.
