What We Offer
The summer programs involve therapeutic activities designed to reduce and resolve the identified barriers in your children's lives by improving social functioning, promoting skill development and training, and implementing and practicing strategies to reduce symptoms and improve emotion regulation in age appropriate groups of up to 12 participants per group!
Strategies to decrease anxiety
Our staff will work with your child to develop specific skills to reduce barriers to change and decrease symptom severity to improve functioning across the lifespan.
Developing positive attachments
We will promote positive attachments, effective caregiver and authority figure interactions, and self confidence through the development and maintenance of appropriate social relationships and attachment styles.
Comprehensive Emotional Support
We are committed to enhancing and promoting therapeutic interventions to address specific needs and create an open environment designed to decrease isolation and withdrawal while promoting healthy coping strategies.
Skills to improve impulse control
We design, implement, and practice evidenced-based skill development oriented towards increasing emotion identification and regulation while enhancing strengths and limiting poor interpersonal interactions.

We believe in making mental healthcare accessible to everyone, especially those who face the most significant barriers. To uphold this commitment, we specifically reserve a portion of our program spots for clients with Medicaid. All other insurance types are grouped together for the remaining available spots. Our approach is designed to balance the need to provide care to those with the least access while serving the broader community within our resource constraints.
