The need for early intervention for childhood mental illness is becoming increasingly clear. One study, for example, showed that 50% of those who experience mental health issues in their lifetimes begin to show signs by age 14. The importance of understanding early warning signs and how to intervene cannot be overstated.
At Travco, we provide evidence-based treatment (for mental health issues and substance use disorders) for individuals ages 4 through adulthood. We are committed to providing quality, compassionate care for kids and teens experiencing symptoms of
- ADHD
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Autism
- Adjustment Disorder
- Bipolar Disorder
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
- Conduct Disorder
- Trauma
- Oppositional Defiant Disorder
Following a comprehensive assessment, we develop a specialized treatment plan to address your loved one’s presenting problems. Next, we provide evidence-based interventions such as:
- Play Therapy: Therapeutic play builds upon this natural form of expression by offering children a safe psychological distance from their problems and enabling them to freely communicate thoughts and feelings, which helps reduce behavioral issues, boosts social skills and enhances emotional regulation.
- EMDR: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing helps children and adolescents (as well as adults) process distressing memories. Endorsed by the American Psychiatric Association and heavily researched, this evidence-based treatment can benefit clients with PTSD, depression, anxiety and other disorders.
- Family Therapy: This method of treatment addresses the individual role of each member as well as the functioning of the entire family system and helps educate/support caregivers in building skills for parenting throughout a child’s various developmental stages.
- NeuroStar TMS: For teens ages 15 and older, transcranial magnetic stimulation provides a drug-free intervention that is shown to reduce symptoms of depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder by targeting areas of the brain associated with symptoms.
- Psychiatric Assessments: Following a thorough evaluation with a board certified psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner, we collaborate to develop a medication plan followed by medication management.
- Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Treatment: We offer a comprehensive continuum of care to treat co-occurring SUD and mental health issues.
Knowing where to turn can be overwhelming when your child or adolescent is struggling. The trusted professionals at Travco are here to provide quality, compassionate care--ensuring your loved one’s needs are addressed.
