Sexual abuse and assault as well as childhood physical abuse are tremendous problems within our community. These experiences affect the lives of victims and their families, often causing a great deal of psychological and emotional distress. The Victims of Crime Treatment Center provides a broad range of psychological services for children, parents, and adults. We do not offer psychiatric services as we do not have a psychiatrist on staff although we would be happy to provide referrals as appropriate.
For Children
We provide thorough assessment, evaluation, and psychotherapy for children who have been sexually or physically abused. Treatment for children emphasizes the collaboration and involvement of non-offending parents.
For ParentsWe provide psychotherapy and support services for non-offending parents of abused children.
