School-Aged Children Outpatient Care (Ages 6-12)

Healing and hope in every visit.

Our caring team of specially trained therapists are ready to welcome you and provide your child with treatment tailored just for his or her situation. We’re specialists in a wide range of issues; we work with kids who are struggling with anxiety and depression, abuse, family problems, drug and alcohol use, problems at school, and much more. We’ll make it easy for your child to get the care they need, at one of our locations, in your child’s school, or, in some cases, at your home.
