Our Clinical Services

We offer evidence-based, trauma- informed assessment and treatment services to support healing following the disclosure of abuse and/or neglect.

Child abuse can cause children and their families to lose trust in the world and in themselves. Support from a mental health professional can help children and families:
• Deal with strong and often confusing feelings
• Heal from the trauma and move beyond the abuse
