How Our Counseling Program Helps

Through the DASH Counseling Center, families receive access to licensed, trauma-informed therapists who understand the emotional, social, and systemic challenges young people often face. Counseling sessions focus on helping youth process experiences, develop coping skills, and work toward personal growth, while also supporting parents and caregivers in strengthening the family unit.

Our Approach

We believe that every young person deserves a chance to heal and thrive. Our therapists use proven methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and forensic peer support. By combining clinical expertise with community-based advocacy, we help youth reduce recidivism, manage emotions, and move toward long-term success.
