Child-Parent Psychotherapy

For families with young children who have experienced trauma, we also offer Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP)—a highly effective, evidence-based treatment for children ages 0–5. CPP is designed to support young children who’ve gone through difficult experiences such as loss, separation, abuse, or exposure to violence.
In CPP:

• Therapy always includes the caregiver in sessions to strengthen the bond between parent and child.
• It supports healing by rebuilding a sense of safety, trust, and emotional connection.
• It’s ideal for children under 5 who may not have the words to express their distress.
• It is backed by research and proven to improve the child’s mental health and family functioning.
• We have clinicians with specialized training and certification in CPP to provide the highest level of care and outcomes.

If you’re wondering whether CPP might be right for your child—or if you’re simply looking for a way forward for your family—we’re here to help you take the next step with confidence and compassion.
