Therapeutic After-School Program
Our Therapeutic After-School Program is designed for children, and the families of children, between the ages of 6 and 11 years old who are experiencing emotional and/or behavioral challenges more difficult than once per week individual therapy or other traditional outpatient services can support. The program may be a good fit for kids who are having trouble managing daily stressors, attending school, or who require additional support outside of school.
​
​Clear Reflections team is staffed with mental health professionals including Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselors, Board Certified Behavioral Analysts, Master Level School Counselors, and Masters Level Early Childhood Development Counselors. The goal of our Children's Therapeutic After School Program is to support children and families in helping guide them towards achieving more harmony and balance within the household, in school, and in the community while also being as least disruptive to daily life as possible. Children can attend normal school days and most after school activities while still engaging in this highly supportive and effective therapeutic program.
​​​​​​​​​​​​Our format is based in a group therapy approach with the intention of developing positive, pro-social, and healthy relationships and connections with peers, parents, and other adults. The basic structure of the program is made up of:
-
social-emotional skills
-
experiential therapies such as movement, mindfulness, and animal assisted therapy with our in house therapy dog, Indie!
-
age-appropriate life skills groups
-
arts & crafts, board games, outdoor activities, and Lego groups
-
case management and collateral contact with school and other providers
-
individual one-on-one check ins with counselors
-
academic support
-
parent and family education and support groups
-
healthy snacks and drinks provided daily
