Mental illness is shockingly common, affecting almost every American family — directly or indirectly. It can strike someone of any background. It can strike at any stage of life — from childhood to old age. No community is unaffected, no school or workplace untouched. Mental illness in America is more common than cancer, diabetes, or even heart disease. Nearly 60 million people — one in four adults and one in five children — have a mental illness that can be diagnosed and treated.

Children’s Center offers specialized outpatient mental health counseling and psychiatric services for children and adolescents. We believe that successful treatment occurs through the strength of the therapeutic alliance with the child and family. Our treatment approach concerns itself with solutions; it is both positive and non-judgmental. Our approach is collaborative in nature and focuses on family strengths. Our therapists work toward achieving positive outcomes identified by the family by building on those strengths.
