Our school-based mental health program was born out of the desire to provide access. School-based programs alleviate the strain on caregivers to arrange transportation to and from appointments — while serving kids in an environment they know and are familiar with.

Mental health services are available on-site at selected schools in the Battle Ground, Evergreen, La Center and Vancouver School Districts. The program delivers the same treatment as our clinic-based mental health program, including the involvement of caregivers and family members.

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.
