Anxiety & depression

Decreased impulse control

Delayed developmental growth

Impaired ability to regulate stress

Difficulty navigating social interactions

Post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD)

Weakened response to positive feedback

How Do We Approach Therapy?

Our trauma-focused therapy is proven to help victims of child abuse and their families find healing, hope, and restoration.

Our professional therapists and master’s level interns are skilled in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). TF-CBT is an evidence-based treatment that has freed child abuse victims and their families from many of the psychological, behavioral, and emotional shackles of abuse.
