Trauma-Focused Therapy for Children
Trauma-focused therapy is provided at all of our locations. Several of our counselors, social workers, and psychologists have completed intensive training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). TF-CBT is an evidence-based treatment approach for helping children and adolescents process their traumatic experiences. They learn coping skills for dealing with thoughts, feelings, and behavior that may be causing stress. Research supports that TF-CBT successfully helps to improve emotional and behavioral difficulties associated with single, multiple, and complex trauma.

Trauma-Focused Therapy for Adults
Trauma-focused therapy is provided at our Richland location. Tracy Tredennick, LCSW has completed intensive training and certification in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is an evidence-based treatment approach for helping adults and adolescents process their traumatic experiences. EMDR requires a series of interactions with the specialist to aid in healthy coping following traumatic life experiences. Clients will also learn coping skills for dealing with thoughts, feelings, and behavior that may be causing stress. Research supports that EMDR successfully helps to improve emotional and behavioral difficulties associated with single, multiple, and complex trauma.

Executive-Functioning Training for Children with ADHD
Executive functioning is often a core struggle for children and adolescents with ADHD, Learning Disabilities, and Autism Spectrum Disorders. Executive function and self-regulation skills depend on three types of brain function: working memory/attention, cognitive flexibility/, and self/emotional-control. These functions are highly correlated with success in academic, social, and emotional development. Several of our counselors, social workers, and psychologists have completed training in Executive-Functioning Training (EFT). EFT is an evidence-based treatment approach for helping children and adolescents learning skills to grow in these important domains. Research supports that EFT successfully helps to improve  academic, social, and emotional development.
