Children and adolescents need safe havens to allow them to feel a sense of security and control when facing life’s challenges.
Our team of skilled clinicians are trained in the complex issues of childhood and adolescence.
We help children strengthen their capacities to manage difficult feelings and build compassion for self and others.
Parents play an integral role in their child’s successful treatment. Each child’s needs are viewed within the context of their family and culture. Our therapists use a variety of counseling techniques and tools tailored to each child.
Treatment may include: play therapy, individual talk therapy, group therapy, family therapy and a range of creativity-based interventions, including art, drama, role-play, journaling and poetry.
