About Counseling Services
After abuse, many families have a 
hard time handling the feelings that come up.
Your child may feel angry, sad, guilty, ashamed and fearful. Or just the opposite: your son or daughter may feel nothing-a sense of numbness or disconnection.
As a parent, you may feel emotionally overwhelmed as well.
How Counseling Can Help Your Family
Therapy at Child Advocacy Prevention Services can help your child-and you-heal after abuse.
With the help of our skilled therapists your child can learn to manage feelings and overcome fear and anxiety.
And your child's therapist can help you and your family develop safety skills aimed to prevent future abuse.
Therapy That Gets Results
At the Butler Center we use a form of therapy proven to help children and families overcome trauma after child abuse. It's called Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Research shows that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can...
