Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) – TF-CBT is a psychotherapy approach for children and adolescents who experience significant emotional and behavioral difficulties related to traumatic events such as death of a parent, physical injury, or abuse. With the help of a therapist and their parent, children are able to confront and process the traumatic event, leading to progressive improvement in their emotional well-being. This therapy has resulted in significant reductions of parental stress, helping the entire family to heal.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) – For children who have difficulty concentrating or become easily bored, the center provides a variety of approaches, with or without medication.

Behavior Management/Social Skills Therapy – This modality focuses on providing children with assistance in dealing with social situations, including accurately assessing their environment, recognizing what is expected and knowing appropriate reactions.

Military Veterans Family Treatment and Support – The demands of military life, combat, and transitions back to civilian life can significantly impact veteran and military connected families. Our Strong Families, Strong Children Program addresses the psychological distress of pre-deployment and post deployment, as well as assisting families impacted by housing insecurities, domestic violence, legal challenges, job security or substance abuse. We ensure military families receive comprehensive, culturally sensitive mental health and basic needs services.

Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) – Through our longstanding collaboration with the University of California, Davis, CGC is the largest and most experienced Orange County provider of PCIT - a proven effective method for helping parents of young children (ages 2 to 8 years old) struggling with behavioral health challenges to enhance their relationships through better communication. During the sessions trained therapists observe parent-child interactions and provide real-time support and training to the parent, guiding them through their child's disruptive behaviors. Parents feel supported and empowered as they learn to effectively communicate with their child, leading to the diminishment of unwanted behaviors and increased positive interactions for the child.

PC CARE - A shortened version of PCIT that focuses on relationship- and skill-building (8 weeks).
