CREATE is a year round, innovative group outpatient service for children and young adults with autism. Participants build social and communication skills, improve problem solving and emotional regulation, and enhance flexibility and motivation. In CREATE, we help participants make and maintain friendships, enhance communication skills, develop emotional flexibility and regulation, and work with your family in order to maintain progress and growth.

Child Guidance offers a licensed, private Special Education School for children in grades K-8 who are struggling in their public school classroom. Our school is a structured academic environment with a strong emphasis on social, emotional, and behavioral development.

Family First is a 32 week process. Your family is assigned a team of two Master’s level clinicians who work closely with you in the home, school and community to address not only your child’s emotional struggles but the larger systemic issues contributing to your concerns.

FFT is an evidence-based short-term intervention program for youth 11-18 years old. This intensive program averages 12 to 14 sessions over three to five months. Therapists provide services that are conducted in the home, school, and community in order to provide the most effective and beneficial support for long-term change.

Child Guidance Resource Centers' High Fidelity Wraparound (HFW) program is a supportive program for youth with behavioral health struggles and complex systemic needs. The process works to keep families together in their own homes by teaching them ways to plan for their needs and eliminate the risk for out of home placement. HFW is a youth-guided and family-driven process that helps families meet basic needs, strengthen support networks, and empower participants to change their future.

IBHS is a community-based service that occurs across the home, school, and/or community settings. We work with you and your family in addressing behavioral health needs by using strength-based goals.

Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST) is an evidence based intervention created for adolescents aged 12-17 years who struggle with chronic, delinquent behavior and/or severe emotional issues. This 3-5 month program supportively and proactively addresses troublesome behaviors and helps your child and family move in a positive direction. MST focuses on the caregiver as the center for change. By empowering the caregiver, building natural supports, and setting expectations, you can shift the family system and lead the entire family to positive growth and change.

Multi-Systemic Therapy-Child Abused and Neglect (MST-CAN) is an evidence based treatment created for children ages 6-17 years and families that come under the guidance of Child Protective Services (CPS) due to physical abuse and/or neglect. While traditionally, treatment for children experiencing abuse or neglect is focused on the individual. However, research shows that the factors leading to physical abuse and neglect are complex and interconnected, involving family, schools, and communities. MST-CAN provides a holistic approach to keep the child safe and work toward healing the family.

Outpatient services are in-office (or telehealth) sessions with a therapist - they can be group sessions, individual, or family. Whether your child is struggling with emotional, social, developmental or behavioral issues, our outpatient department is here to help. We have over 64 years of experience helping children and families heal, grow, and thrive.

Did you know you can change your child's behavior for the better and strengthen the parent-child bond simply through the power of play? Tantrums, noncompliance, and aggression can be overwhelming for caregivers and lead to difficulty in the home, school, and community. PCIT is an evidence-based model for children ages 2-7 years that enhances parent-child connection and leads with positive praise and play.

Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) is an evidence-based outpatient program that helps children with autism or developmental delays develop the skills they need while also supporting the caregiver and family throughout the therapeutic process. Children diagnosed with autism and/or PDD are often challenged by language, play, social, and behavioral issues. PRT provides the flexibility and support during your child’s critical years of development.

Integrating mental healthcare within school and other community services leads to powerful outcomes. We offer school-based outpatient services within a variety of school districts. Our expert therapists work with students, teachers, parents, and administrators to provide caring mental health support and increase a holistic understanding of students and families needs so they can thrive both in school and at home.

The Incredible Years is an evidence-based program that aims to prevent and treat young children's behavior problems and promote social, emotional, and academic competence. Through 18 weekly group sessions, we offer practical behavioral health support for children and caregivers.

Regular attendance in school is an important factor in your child's achievement and success. Missing just two days of school each month increases the likelihood of drop out. We know, however, that truancy is often a symptom of stress and need in that sutdent's life. Our Truancy and Delinquency Prevention Partnership can identify the issue and help families develop the tools and resources for their students to return to school and reach their potential.
