Safe Passage clinicians have a passion for supporting children and adolescents who have experienced trauma. We specialize in helping young clients navigate the emotional challenges that arise from difficult life experiences. Using a compassionate, client-centered approach, we aim to create a safe and welcoming space where children and teens can express themselves, process their emotions, and build resilience.

Trained in trauma-focused therapies, our therapists integrate techniques such as trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and play therapy to address the unique needs of each child or adolescent. We are committed to providing individualized care that empowers young clients and their families to heal, grow, and thrive.

With a deep understanding of the importance of a holistic, supportive environment, we work collaboratively with families, schools, and other professionals to ensure the best possible outcomes for each client. Whether supporting children through challenging behaviors or helping teens build coping strategies, Safe Passage is dedicated to fostering a sense of hope and well-being for every young person we work with.

Mental Health Services

At Safe Passage, we recognize the profound impact trauma can have on a child’s emotional and psychological well-being. Our mental health services are designed to provide compassionate, evidence-based support to children, adolescents, and their families as they navigate the healing process.

Our licensed therapists specialize in trauma-focused care and are experienced in working with children and adolescents who have experienced abuse, neglect, or other forms of trauma. Our goal is to provide a safe, nurturing space where children feel heard, supported, and empowered to heal. We offer a range of services tailored to meet each child’s unique needs, including:

• Crisis Intervention: Immediate support for children and families in distress, ensuring safety and stabilization.
• Individual Counseling: One-on-one therapy sessions to help children process their experiences, develop coping skills, and build resilience.
• Family Therapy: Support for caregivers and families to foster healing, strengthen relationships, and promote a safe and supportive environment.
• Trauma-Informed Care: Evidence-based interventions designed to address the effects of trauma and promote emotional well-being.
• Play Therapy: A specialized approach for young children to express emotions, process experiences, and develop healthy coping strategies.
• Eligibility: Please note that our mental health services are exclusively available to children and families who are already receiving other services at Safe Passage. At this time, we do not offer counseling services to the general public.
