About this facility
Children, teens, and their families receive support for a range of mental health needs, including anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, and family conflict. Clients come from diverse backgrounds and often seek help with school issues, emotional regulation, substance use or stressors like grief, trauma, or family instability. Services are delivered in homes, schools, and other familiar settings, helping clients build skills in the environments where they’re most needed.
Located just off South Wilkes-Barre Boulevard on East Northampton Street, the facility offers programs, from outpatient therapy to intensive supports like family-based mental health and day treatment (PHP). Therapists use structured, research-based models such as functional family therapy (FFT), applied behavior analysis (ABA), and parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT). Services may include individual, group, or family therapy, as well as case management, trauma screening, and 24/7 crisis response.
In partnership with law enforcement, the Co-Responder program helps individuals in crisis avoid unnecessary incarceration by connecting them to mental health, substance use, or community-based services. Clinicians and officers respond together to crisis situations, applying trauma-informed, person-centered care. This collaboration helps de-escalate emergencies, reduce repeat arrests, and ensure that people in need receive timely support rather than being routed through the justice system.
