Child & Family

Child and family counseling is a specialized form of therapy that focuses on addressing the behavioral and relational needs of children and their families. It involves a behavioral health clinician working with both the child and their family members to promote understanding and positive change.

What is individual child counseling?

• When working with children, our TFCC behavioral health clinicians create a safe and nurturing environment where the child can express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. They use age-appropriate therapeutic techniques to help the child develop coping skills, build self-esteem, improve communication, manage emotions, and resolve conflicts. There is collaboration with parents or caregivers to support the child’s progress and implement strategies within the family context.

What is family counseling?

• Family counseling involves a behavioral health clinician working with multiple members of a family system simultaneously. The focus of family counseling is to improve communication, resolve conflicts, enhance understanding, and strengthen relationships within the family unit.

The Wraparound Program is a structured coordination effort that connects families with service providers to support children with complex needs. Rather than being a direct service, it facilitates collaboration among parents, teachers, juvenile justice representatives, and other professionals to create a unified support system.
