Trauma-Focused Child Therapy
Trauma-focused therapy is a specific approach to treatment that recognizes and emphasizes how traumatic experiences impact a child’s mental, behavioral, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. The purpose of this therapy is to offer skills and strategies to assist the child to better understand, cope with, and process emotions and memories tied to traumatic events. This can help the child create a healthier and more adaptive meaning of the experience that took place.
