Traumatic Stress Service and Providers

Traumatic events are often part of life, and something experienced by many families. Our trauma-focused psychologists specialize in evidence-based assessment and compassionate treatment of post-traumatic stress, or problems that can occur following a traumatic event. Our team specializes in serving children and adolescents who have developed social, emotional and/or behavioral problems after such an event. We are able to provide both psychological evaluation and outpatient treatment in a nurturing and caring environment.

We work with survivors of a wide range of traumatic experiences, including sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect, domestic violence, mass violence, traumatic grief, natural disasters, and accidents. Our focus is on helping children, teens and their families recover after trauma.
