Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health have been the foundation of the Center for Child Counseling's mission in Palm Beach County since being founded in 1999. We focus on the youngest children in our community because research shows that this period of life is one of critical importance, providing the foundation for health throughout the lifespan. The Center for Child Counseling is building the foundation for playful, healthful, and hopeful living for children and families in Palm Beach County. Healthy, resilient children and families through an ACEs-aware and trauma-informed community.

Services Offered

Early Childhood Mental Health - Our programs and expertise are grounded in research about early brain development and the impact of adversity and trauma on development. Violence, abuse, and neglect in the earliest years of life are forms of "toxic stress" that can fundamentally change the developing brain, in the absence of healthy relationships. Secure, stable, supportive relationships between children and caring adults in the family and community contribute significantly to children's healthy brain development by buffering the brain from the damage due to high stress.

Mental Health Services - In additional to general mental health concerns, our specialties include:
* Trauma
* Grief and Loss
* Attachment Issues
* Perinatal and Postpartum Depression
* Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health

Child-Parent Psychotherapy - Another evidence-based intervention, with the primary goal being to support and strengthen the relationship between a child and parent/caregiver in order to restore the child's sense of safety, attachment, and appropriate affect. CPP helps children who have experienced trauma, helping them regain their sense of safety and normalcy.
