Tutoring a Student

Mentoring 

Ages 4-12 

Our mentors are qualified adults with human services and behavioral health experience, and use research-based techniques to provide one-on-one support. They help youth with communication, problem-solving, interpersonal and social skills, and much more. Our mentors are dedicated to helping children achieve their potential and learn the skills they need to be successful in life.

Therapeutic Day Treatement

Ages 4-12

Our Therapeutic Day Treatment (TDT) program provides comprehensive mental health treatment for students in the school setting. Our staff have expertise in providing a range of therapeutic interventions, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and play therapy. We collaborate with school staff, parents, and outside providers to ensure that students receive the best care possible.

Outpatient Therapy 

Ages 6 and older  

Our Outpatient Therapy program offers a comprehensive approach to mental health care. We strive to provide a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment to help youth learn to cope with life’s challenges. Our counselors and therapists focus on developing positive coping skills, improving relationships, and increasing self-esteem. We also provide family therapy to help build healthier, more supportive relationships.

Home Based Services 

Ages 4-12

Our home based services are designed to provide convenient, specialized support for families in need. We offer in-home therapy, case management, and crisis support for those who cannot access traditional mental health services. We work together to create strategies and solutions to reduce stress and increase resilience.
