Demand for our services continues to increase. We see children and adults of varying ethnicity, with a substantial number of cases involving trauma and abuse. Treatment can be between three months and several years. Training for therapists focuses on child therapy, family therapy, EMDR and now also includes sand tray therapy.

Our therapists often work with clients that have multiple and deep-seated issues concerning an abusive family history that is inhibiting their ability to parent in a loving and supportive manner. Treatment can involve working with a child individually, with one parent, parents, and/or with the family as a whole. Success stories include parents being able to differentiate their needs from those of their children, who in turn, are able to experience the love and support they need.

The counseling therapist team includes experienced licensed staff as well as trained interns. This program coordinates closely with both Family Support Hotline and Families in Transition.

A new focus in the future will involve infant mental health, which offers the opportunity to collaboratively plan with other community resources, including Children's Hospital.
