Our 24/7 crisis team provides immediate face-to-face intervention for children experiencing mental health emergencies. Services include safety assessments, conflict resolution, and connection to ongoing care. We work with law enforcement and hospitals to ensure appropriate treatment levels while providing stabilization services for up to two weeks post-crisis.

Licensed professionals deliver individualized therapy for all ages through evidence-based approaches like EMDR and TF-CBT. Services begin with comprehensive diagnostic assessments and include family therapy, group sessions, and trauma-focused treatment. We accept multiple insurance plans and offer sliding fee discounts for qualifying clients.
School-Based Services
We partner with 18 school districts to provide mental health services within educational settings. Our licensed interventionists work with students identified by teachers or parents, offering skills development and therapy to prevent special education needs while collaborating with school administrators on behavioral support plans.

Specialized diagnostic assessments for children ages 0-5 using the DC:0-5 framework. Our trained staff conduct parent interviews, child observations, and coordinate with pediatricians to create comprehensive mental health plans while providing consultation to Head Start programs and families.

Certified clinicians deliver trauma-specific treatments including TF-CBT and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. Our approach addresses complex trauma through individual and family therapy sessions while incorporating evidence-based practices like Managing and Adapting Practices (MAP) for improved emotional regulation and healing.
