At Comprehensive Healthcare, we believe that within each of us, there is an ability to recover from any challenge or trial. Our child, youth, and family services focus is on helping children and families use their strengths to build resiliency and develop the skills needed for the recovery process.

We understand that parents or guardians want what is best for their child, and that the family is often the best support for children and youth. We not only want to teach children and youth helpful tools to help them recover, but we want to empower each member of the family to help them realize their important, supportive role in the recovery process.

If you are interested in enrolling into services for your child or family, please give us a call to get started.

 

Our commitment to you and your child:

  • We will demonstrate a caring attitude that instills hope, courage and confidence in recovery.

  • We will provide a comprehensive assessment that discovers your child’s needs and strengths.

  • You will receive services from a highly trained therapist who will work with your family and child or teen in a team-based approach.

  • We will develop a collaborative service plan with you that will focus on goals and outcomes.

  • We will provide evidence-based treatments or services

  • We will honor your cultural and family values, and provide age-appropriate services.

 

Our Child, Youth, and Family Services include:

Family Therapy
Comprehensive Healthcare offers both family and individual therapy for  children and families The brain of a child does not fully develop until well into the 20s, so we really need and value the parents or caregivers participation with their child or teen throughout the services we will provide. We think of it services as working with the parent or caregiver who really are the main support throughout their child’s life.

 

Individual Therapy
Individual therapy for children really means we will work with the child or teen to learn skills to cope with the challenges or trials they are facing. During this process, we still connect and collaborate with their parent or caregiver.
