As the need for youth therapy services continues to increase, we are finding that meeting this demand by providing mental health counseling in the school is beneficial and reduces the interference with extra-curricular activities and parents managing work schedules. Our school-based program is designed to offer individual and group therapy services to students at their individual schools during school hours.
