Our licensed counseling center works with children experiencing a variety of challenges

Therapy helps a child develop new skills and coping strategies to help them be successful in their day-to-day activities. Therapy also gives families support in providing children with a safe, loving and structured environment. Our clinicians use therapeutic techniques appropriate to the child’s developmental stage.

  • Birth to 5 certification

Our goals

Behavioral health plays a vital role in child welfare and human services. We are currently exploring opportunities to diversify funding sources and expand services offered (i.e. after school behavioral health care, groups for our shelter children, services to our foster children, plus an additional and more central location in Phoenix).

Our counseling and behavioral health program has been in service since early 2016. It’s crucial to expand this program in order to remain competitive and relevant. Lastly, we recently joined the AZ Council. They have valuable networking opportunities to enhance our Behavioral Health Services for the children and families we support.

You have the power to transform lives. Help us reach our goals.
