Our dedicated team of counselors specializes in a range of evidence-based therapeutic practices to ensure the most effective care. These include:
Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP): This therapeutic approach is specifically designed to strengthen the bond between children and their parents. CPP focuses on fostering a deeper understanding of a child’s behavior within the parent-child relationship, promoting healthier interactions and secure attachment.
Circle of Security (COS) Parenting Program: The Circle of Security is an early intervention program aimed at enhancing the security of attachment between parents and their children. Through education and guided reflection, parents learn to better understand their child’s needs and attachment behaviors, fostering a more secure and nurturing relationship.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a powerful tool for individuals and families grappling with anger, conflict, and aggression. CBT equips clients with positive coping mechanisms, self-control techniques, effective discipline strategies, and constructive communication skills to improve family problem-solving and overall well-being.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): EMDR is a cutting-edge therapeutic method particularly effective in addressing trauma in children.
