Child, Family and Adult Mental Health Therapy

child and family therapy

Using trauma-informed treatment approaches, KVC therapists provide high-quality mental healthcare to children, families and adults. To eliminate barriers that may prevent clients from receiving treatment, we provide therapy services in a variety of locations including clients’ homes, children’s schools, our offices or virtually via telehealth. These services are designed to help children and adults process trauma, resolve conflicts and address behavioral and mental health related issues so they can meet their full potential at home, school and work.

Therapists are trained in evidence-based treatment approaches, including Trauma Systems Therapy (TST). Services are strength-based, child-centered and family-driven. We provide therapy services to children and adults who have Medicaid and meet APS Healthcare and Medicaid criteria for medical necessity.

Contact your local KVC office for more information and to check therapist availability.
