  • Individual Therapy
    • We offer individual therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. Treatment interventions are evidence-based using a variety of modalities to address trauma, difficult behaviors, and/or emotional issues. Our clinicians work closely with caregivers and multi-disciplinary treatment team members. We use a trauma-informed, strengths-based, and goal-focused approach.

 

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
    • EMDR psychotherapy is an evidenced-based therapy for the treatment of trauma. There is also research to suggest EMDR is successful in treating a wide array of psychological disorders. EMDR therapy has people of all ages relieve many types of psychological stress by processing and integrating negative life events from one's past and thus alleviating current symptoms. All Kids Crossing therapists are EMDR trained, with specialized training and supervision in using EMDR with children and teens.

 

  • Family Therapy
    • We believe that the family system is an important part of individual change.  Our family therapists believe that the family is a dynamic system made up of individuals who affect each other. They work to support the hierarchy of parents/guardians and children so that all members of the system can be successful together and separate. We offer a variety of interventions to support family structure and assist parents/guardians in dealing with problem behaviors and/or emotional issues.

 

  • Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®) is a therapeutic model that trains caregivers to provide effective support and treatment for at-risk children. TBRI® has been applied in orphanages, courts, residential treatment facilities, group homes, foster, and adoptive homes, churches, and schools. All Kids Crossing Staff and Foster Parents are trained in TBRI®. We also offer TBRI® parenting classes and coaching to our clients and community members.

 

  • Problem Sexual Behaviors
    • Our offense-specific treatment team is supervised by Nate Caldwell, LPC, and Gayle Christensen, LCSW. Treatment strictly follows SOMB guidelines and standards. All of our clinicians are trained to address issues surrounding healthy sexuality and poor boundaries for children and teens. We provide an assessment of children for the appropriate level of treatment based on risk for re-offense and culpability. Our SOMB approved providers treat those children who have been charged with sexual offenses. Treatment is focused on reducing risk, increasing culpability, and improving and normalizing healthy adolescent behaviors. We offer Healthy Sexuality and Adolescent sexual offense-specific treatment group (Standards and Guidelines of SOMB). We strive to support families in developing a healthy/safe environment.
