Every child experiences challenges as they grow. Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, trauma, school difficulties, family changes, or other emotional challenges, you don’t have to face it alone.
At United Services, our Child & Family Guidance team provides compassionate, evidence-based care that helps children, adolescents, and families build resilience, strengthen relationships, and develop the skills needed to thrive. We believe every child has unique strengths, and our goal is to help them reach their fullest potential while supporting the entire family along the way.

Our experienced clinicians use evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches tailored to each child’s age and developmental needs. These services may include:
Our Approach
Every child is unique, which is why our approach to treatment begins with understanding each child’s individual strengths, needs, and goals.
Our clinicians work closely with children, parents, caregivers, schools, pediatricians, and other providers to develop personalized treatment plans that support emotional well-being, healthy development, and long-term success.
Family participation is encouraged whenever appropriate because we know children thrive when families are supported, informed, and actively involved in the healing process.
Our focus is not simply on reducing symptoms but on helping children develop confidence, healthy coping skills, emotional regulation, and positive relationships.
Working Together
Helping a child succeed often involves an entire support system. With appropriate consent, we collaborate with schools, pediatricians, community providers, and other caregivers to ensure children receive coordinated, comprehensive care that supports success at home, in school, and throughout the community.
How to Access Services
Parents, guardians, healthcare providers, schools, and community partners may refer children and adolescents to our Child & Family Guidance program. Our team will guide you through the referral process, answer your questions, and help determine the services that best meet your child’s needs.
