Children’s Crisis Treatment Center (CCTC) helps young children and families heal from emotional and behavioral challenges such as trauma, grief, and abuse. Serving children ages 18 months to 13, CCTC offers outpatient therapy and a day treatment (PHP) program. They provide a safe, nurturing space where families begin to recover and grow stronger together with a focus on early childhood care, CCTC uses trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches to guide treatment. Therapy options include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), play therapy, art therapy, and attachment-based family therapy. Care plans are tailored by a team of therapists, psychiatrists, and nurses. These therapies help children express emotions, build coping skills, and foster strong bonds, while also empowering parents to support emotional development. CCTC provides a Therapeutic Nursery for preschoolers with behavioral challenges, a family-based parenting program, and workshops for caregivers. Their Multiple Family Group model builds support through shared learning and healing. Most children served are under 10, reflecting their strong focus on early intervention. Bilingual services, advocacy, and care coordination ensure families receive support beyond the therapy room.
