Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT) is an evidenced based treatment for youth and adolescents (3-18yrs) and their caregivers who have been impacted by trauma. TFCBT research has shown this model to be effective in reducing symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Wedgwood also offers a Trauma Informed Parenting Class.
-
Community Care Management
Community Care Management is designed to support families for the first few months after a crisis. This home-based support can be provided either to prevent an out-of-home placement or to assist the family with a transition when their child returns home from an out-of-home placement either in a psychiatric hospital or residential setting. A therapist will come to the home or youth’s school 1-3 times weekly (depending on needs) to provide support and engage the child and family in counseling. They will work to identify the root causes that created the crisis. The family will look at communication patterns, expectations, triggers of crisis and coping skills they can use in the future. The therapist will ensure the youth’s mental health and emotional needs are evaluated regularly during this time of Community Care Management. The therapist will link the family with necessary support services (including urgent psychiatry medication assessments/reviews here at Wedgwood Christian Services, if necessary) and encourage the youth and family to continue counseling through traditional office-based services if warranted once Community Care Management is completed.

Schedule an Appointment
To schedule an initial counseling appointment, please call or email us. An intake specialist will gather some basic information and help arrange your first appointment.
The initial session will begin an assessment process. This is an opportunity for your therapist to get to know you and learn about your needs and goals. Through this assessment process, your therapist will work with you to develop a plan for your treatment.
