CHILD GUIDANCE CENTER PROGRAMS Child, Adolescent and Family Therapy – The cornerstone of the Child Guidance Center for over 50 years, this program utilizes a multidisciplinary team approach to provide a broad range of mental health assessments and treatment services tailored to meet the individual needs of children and families referred under non-emergency circumstances. Comprehensive assessments are conducted for all children and families referred to CGC. An interdisciplinary team reviews the assessment and develops a treatment plan tailored to meet the individual needs of each child and family. Specialized evaluations, such as developmentals for preschoolers, psychological and neuropsychological testing, and psychiatric assessments, are provided to understand more complex situations.Treatment services include individual, group, or family therapy, parent guidance and play therapy, or medications as needed. Care coordination services are provided to assist families in accessing other community services to meet the multiple needs of the child and family.
