Child abuse victims bear lasting mental scars that can affect them for the rest of their lives.
At the Children Advocacy Center of Paris, our child abuse therapy program offers a safe place where children can start to heal.
Our full-time, licensed therapists use gentle, evidenced-based therapy methods to help children:
Our goal is to support children and their families, providing the tools they need to move forward and find hope.
Our Paris, TX, trauma therapists help children heal from abuse through weekly counseling sessions. These sessions are available on-location, or our therapists will travel to schools in the area.
By working closely with the child, we help them build a positive self-image and heal the scars of abuse.
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is designed to help children process and overcome the trauma they have experienced. Through counseling sessions, our therapists help children understand and manage their emotions, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and build a positive self-image.
Play therapy provides a safe and engaging way for children to express their feelings and experiences through play. Our trained therapists use play-based techniques to help children explore their emotions, develop problem-solving skills, and improve their communication. This approach is particularly effective for younger children who might find it difficult to articulate their thoughts and feelings verbally.
Problematic Sexual Behavior Therapy (PSBC) is a specialized therapy designed to address and resolve problematic sexual behaviors in children. This structured therapy approach involves multiple phases that help the child understand and modify their behavior, develop healthy sexual boundaries, and improve their interpersonal skills.
Abuse alters a child’s brain. It leaves the child more likely to experience:
Therapy aims to diminish these effects so the child can overcome trauma by rewriting their brain.
This tool evaluates children's cognitive abilities. We use this detailed testing to understand the child’s strengths and where they need help.
These evaluations assess problematic sexual behaviors in children. We use assessments to understand behavior patterns and risks, which helps us develop targeted interventions.
Our screenings assess trauma symptoms and experiences in young children. We carefully evaluate the impact of trauma and guide therapeutic approaches to help children heal.
Every donation or volunteer hour makes a difference in providing crucial advocacy and support.
