Services
Play Therapy
Play Therapy uses therapeutic play to help children express emotions and process experiences. Our licensed therapists use puppets, art, and sand trays to address behavioral and emotional challenges. This evidence-based approach helps children develop coping strategies and improve communication skills through their natural language of play.
Music Therapy
Board-certified music therapists use music interventions to address non-musical goals. Through songwriting, instrument playing, and rhythmic activities, clients improve emotional regulation, cognitive skills, and social interaction. This evidence-based practice benefits neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals across the lifespan through personalized treatment plans.
Thrive Program
Thrive provides intensive home-based family therapy to prevent foster care placements. Our therapists collaborate with county case managers and community resources to strengthen family systems. The program includes weekly home visits, school sessions, and comprehensive assessments to address behavioral health needs through a collaborative care model.
Sand Tray Therapy
Sand Tray Therapy allows clients to create miniature worlds using sand and figurines. This expressive modality helps individuals process trauma and communicate subconscious thoughts. Therapists guide clients through the symbolic representation process to enhance self-awareness and emotional healing in a non-verbal therapeutic format.
Trauma Treatment
Specialized trauma treatment addresses relationship-based trauma from institutionalization or neglect. Our TBRI-trained therapists use attachment-focused interventions to help children build trust and regulate behaviors. The approach addresses physiological, emotional, and cognitive impacts of trauma through caregiver education and therapeutic relationship-building techniques.
