Description

Provides infant and early childhood therapy services: - Attachment Bio-behavioral Catch-up (ABC): For children ages 6 - 48 months. ABC is an infant/toddler-caregiver treatment developed to treat infants/toddlers who have experienced early adversity. Caregivers are coached in three skills while learning to reduce frightening and overwhelming behaviors with their young children. ?- Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP): For children ages birth - 6 years old. CPP is a child-caregiver treatment developed to examine how the trauma and the caregivers' relational history affect the caregiver-child relationship and the child's developmental trajectory. ?- Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT): For children ages 3 - 7 years old. PCIT is a treatment for young children with emotional and behavioral disorders that emphasizes the quality of the caregiver-child relationship and strengthening caregiver-child interaction patterns to improve calm, warmth, and focus within the caregiving relationship. Also provides school-linked mental health therapy. By providing services within the schools, children and youth who may never have had access to mental health services can now obtain those services.
