Counseling
Counseling options to best suit your needs
We offer a range of counseling opportunities—including individual, family and group therapy—in a number of areas.
Mental health
We’re experienced at working with sensitive topics like posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, social anxiety and identity development. We can provide mental and behavioral supports for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to address:
- Anxiety, loneliness and loss
- Social and relationship-building skills
- Develop assertiveness and self-advocacy skills
- Stress management and emotion regulation
Trauma
We have a unique specialization in trauma-informed treatment for people of all ages with I/DD who are coping with the impact of trauma. This includes physical and sexual abuse, neglect, traumatic grief and medical trauma. We provide support and training for parents, caregivers, professionals and schools on creating safe, supportive, healing environments.
Family
There are unique challenges of raising children with developmental disabilities:
- Family stress
- Challenging behaviors
- Identifying and reinforcing strengths in children
- Working with schools
We offer family counseling to address issues at home, school and in the community. We support the development of a positive, strengths-based environment and strategies that recognize the individuality of each child and family.
