Services Offered

COUNSELING
The Parenting Center's Clinical Counseling program provides a broad range of counseling/therapy services including: individual therapy for adolescents and adults, marital and couples counseling, family counseling, play therapy, and group therapy. Services are designed to improve individual and family functioning.

Therapists are Licensed Professional Counselors, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, and Licensed Clinical Social Workers who provide commonly accepted methods of counseling, including play therapy. In addition, most therapists have one of more supplemental trainings in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Theraplay, Trust-Based Relational Interventions (TBRI), or another specialized treatment modality. Therapists are specifically trained to work with divorce, anger management, parenting issues, family systems, victims of abuse/neglect, and other forms of trauma. Counseling is provided in both English and Spanish.

PLAY THERAPY
For children between the ages of two and eight, a counselor at The Parenting Center may use Play Therapy as a way of helping children address and resolve problems. This highly successful and proven procedure is a structured approach that builds upon a child's normal methods of communication and learning by encouraging them to express their feelings through play. Through play therapy, children learn to communicate with others, express feelings, modify behavior, develop problem-solving skills and learn a variety of ways to relate to others.
