Youth and Family Services

Growing up can be challenging. We’re here to support your family.

We approach mental health with the same importance as physical health and celebrate the courage it takes to ask for help. We see your challenges through your eyes to provide the most appropriate treatment.

Our dedicated staff of mental health professionals provide individualized treatment designed to support the child and family system to receive the services they need to live life to the fullest.

Qualified Staff

Our qualified professionals are trained in psychiatry, psychology, social work, marriage and family therapy, and clinical mental health. They provide office, home, telehealth, and community-based clinical services to support your child and family. Your child’s clinical team is committed to making their path to wellbeing the best it can be.

Evidence Based Practices

Your child’s wellbeing is our priority, and we’re here to support them and your family every step of the way through compassionate and highly effective care practices. We utilize a variety of proven, evidence-based treatment and research practices throughout our services. You can trust that your child is receiving the most appropriate treatments for their specific mental health diagnoses at the right time and in the right setting.

Services Offered

Our Youth and Family services are designed to support the whole health and wellbeing of your child and family system. We approach your child’s care as a team, so that they can achieve their treatment goals and live the full life they deserve.

  • Therapy and guidance are available for a wide variety of challenges like abuse, addiction, anxiety, blended families, chronic illness, conduct (transition supports), depression, divorce, gender identity issues, grief, self-harming behaviors, school and/or learning difficulties, trauma, etc.

    Following a thorough evaluation, we’ll develop an individualized treatment plan. Based on individual and family needs, some services are provided in the office and others may be provided in your child’s school, doctor’s office, or other community setting.

  • FSS are behavioral supports which help your child learn to manage his/her/their symptoms. This community-based service helps your child learn and practice skills where they live, learn and play. FSS can assist parents and caregivers by enhancing your skills and providing additional resources.

  • To support comprehensive care, we offer a full assessment your child and family’s needs. Areas assessed may include housing, education, recreation, medical, legal, vocational/employment, in addition to other basic needs. You and a case manager will develop a comprehensive care plan to address the identified needs. Your case manager will work with you on an ongoing basis to execute your plan and provide follow-up and modification, as needed. This goal of our team approach is to empower your child and family and ultimately reach your identified goals.

  • It is estimated that three (3) in 100 people will experience a psychotic episode at one point in their lives, but there are early intervention techniques that provide the ability to experience a rewarding and meaningful life. Measurable goals may include tracking hospitalization frequency, recurrence of relapse, length of treatment, stable employment and housing, medication management, and peer support involvement. We offer FEP services for clients ages 15-35.

The Child Impact Program (CIP)

All classes are conducted using Zoom. You are required to have a device capable of using audio and video during the entire four-hour class.

The CIP is a court ordered four (4) hour course required of all parents of children under age 18 who are in the process of divorce or who are required to have a parenting plan to address custody and financial support. The course assists parents in understanding the impact of divorce, separation, and custody issues on their child(ren) and how they can best help their child(ren) adjust to the divorce and the changes that result.

This program also provides suggestions as to ways participants can develop a newly defined relationship as co-parents and find ways to work together to raise their children. If you are uncomfortable attending this program with your co-parent, or are legally prohibited from attending together, be sure to fill out that portion of the form. If necessary, you may be directed to another class. Please note that participants must register and pay separately for classes.
