CLINICAL SERVICES

Our Clinical Services provide an evidence-based, integrative approach to trauma-centered counseling and outpatient substance use treatment for youth (ages 13-24) and their families.

Because we recognize that every individual and family struggle is different, our program is specialized to fit the needs and strengths of all by providing the foundation for processing and healing from trauma. Youth as young as age 16 can seek treatment on their own, with or without parental consent.

Our clinical staff is made up of an interdisciplinary, trauma-responsive team of Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Licensed Professional Counselors, a board-certified Psychiatrist, and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselors who are trained in various therapy modalities including the two approved World Health Organization treatments for trauma: Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), as well as Family Therapy. 

Our trauma-focused Clinical Services provide:

  • Psychiatric evlauations, medication management, and Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)

  • Individual counseling for clients and their families needing one-on-one care for substance use, behavioral issues, family conflict, truancy, anxiety and depression. 

  • Group and supportive counseling for those who must address their substance dependency before tackling trauma 

  • Family counseling, parent support groups and parent counseling.

What Are the Benefits of Youth Mental Health Services?

Youth prevention programs empower young people, families, and communities by creating and reinforcing conditions that promote healthy behaviors.

Children diagnosed and treated are more likely to succeed at home and in the community.

These services are based upon the child’s strengths, needs and preferences. The benefits include:

  • Reduction of mental health symptoms

  • Development of new communication skills

  • Development of new ways to manage emotions

  • Development of new ways to relax and create

  • Improved social functioning at home and the community

National statistics show that 1 out of 4 children will have a mental illness during childhood.
