Forensic Counseling
We offer counseling to individuals who are or who have been in the criminal justice system. Our staff has the qualifications to analyze probationers and report on their conditions to authorities in the justice system. We work extensively with probationers both individually and in groups, recommend treatments, and testify in court regarding patients’ mental health.
Human Trafficking Victims Services
Providing treatment to survivors of human trafficking requires mental health professionals to understand complex layers of multiple traumas. These layers include an understanding of how trafficking occurs; what gender, ages, sexual orientations, life circumstances, and ethnicities are most at risk to be trafficked; the lasting impact of trafficking on human development, mental health, and family relationships; and the stigma victims face from their own families, communities, and mental health providers. We have Clinicians Certified with special tools to assist these clients.
Submit your details, and rest assured, a member of our team will contact you to assist further.
