Our skilled clinicians help facilitate change and improvement to help you move forward in your life.

Individual Therapy - Our therapists are specialized in the treatment of trauma and work with children who demonstrate significant behavioral problems. OCOF provides quality care and assist children in dealing with the barriers that get in the way of their emotional and mental well-being. OCOF provides a safe environment for children to enrich their thoughts, feelings and mind power regarding any situations and problems they may have. We use evidence-based interventions and strength based practices that build on the unique strengths of each individual child.

Family therapy - We believe that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We serve young children and their families. We know that when families access services at the onset of a disorder, the treatment effectiveness can be long lasting and prevent more serious problem behaviors later in development. Recognizing that children are nurtured, healed and develop within families, family therapy is the hallmark of our services. Parents are the ultimate teachers. They teach their children what to think about the world, what is important or unimportant and about their own self-worth.

Autism Services - Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the process of systematically applying interventions based upon the principles of learning theory to improve socially significant behaviors to a meaningful degree
