ChildSafe

Therapies Offered by ChildSafe
ChildSafe offers a number of different forms of counseling services geared toward healing a traumatized child and family, including:

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). TF-CBT focuses on helping children and teenagers recognize how some of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors have been shaped by their trauma. TF-CBT helps them to cope with and change those thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). PCIT is a treatment for parents and children who have difficulty communicating and interacting effectively together. PCIT is used for children ages 2-8.

Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention (CFTSI). CFTSI is brief intervention model (6-8 sessions) for reducing trauma symptoms in children and teens.

Adventure therapy is a four-session model of treatment to strengthen family bonding. ChildSafe recognizes trauma also affects many people in the child’s life and therefore works to promote empowerment, open lines of communication, and build trust in families through adventure-based activities.

Group therapy. Group therapy is an opportunity for children who have experienced trauma to meet, share their stories, and receive support and education together. A caregiver group runs in conjunction with the child group. All groups are based on experiential learning and support modeled after our adventure therapy program.
