Who We Are

CFTSI is a brief early intervention model for children and adolescents age 7-18 years and their caregivers that is implemented shortly after a disclosure of a traumatic event. The goal is to reduce symptoms and prevent onset of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). CFTSI also offers an opportunity to assess whether children and families need longer-term treatment. 

TF-CBT is an evidence-based treatment approach shown to help children and adolescent’s age 3-18 years and their caregivers overcome trauma-related difficulties. It is shown to reduce negative emotional and behavioral responses following a traumatic event(s). It also helps protective caregivers to cope effectively with their own emotional distress and develop skills to support their child.  

PCIT provides a behavioral approach to addressing disruptive behavior of children ages 2-7 years with disruptive behaviors and child victims of abuse or neglect. Parents are closely involved in learning to modify child behavior, while concurrently strengthening the parent-child relationship. 

DBT is a model used for adolescents and adults to address complex and intense symptoms such as suicidal thoughts or behavior, self-injurious actions, severe emotional dysregulation, and other mental health symptoms. DBT typically includes individual therapy sessions along with a coping skills group. 

PSB-CBT serves preschool and school age children. PSB-CBT is an evidenced based model developed by the University off Oklahoma Health Science Center for children who exhibit problematic sexual behaviors and their families. Treatment addresses problematic sexual behaviors as well as general behavior problems and focuses on knowledge about positive boundaries, feelings, relaxation and coping skills, self-identity and self-esteem, self-control and discipline as well as applying skills in various situations. The model also uses CBT, psychoeducational and supportive services to children and families.
