We use evidence based and developmentally appropriate modalities of mental health care for child trauma victims and their non-offending family members.  We also see adults who are working to heal from trauma after a crime has been committed against them.  No child is ever turned away.  Our Intake Specialist will work with you and/or your child to determine the best approach for therapy.
