Child, Adolescent & Family Services
Child, Adolescent & Family Services
The Child, Adolescent & Family Services (CAFS) program offers child and adolescent psychiatry, individual counseling for children and adolescents, play therapy for younger children, and family therapy for entire family systems.
Why CAFS at CFR?
At CFR, we believe lasting change comes from supporting children, adolescents, and their caregivers. Our clinicians are trained to provide additional support in emotion regulation, coping skills building, and communication skill building for the children and adolescents and their families as a whole. Therapists will incorporate interventions using art and play to give children another way of communicating their thoughts and feelings. They will then support caregivers and other family members to support the child/adolescent and help them build self-regulation tools.
Our services include individual therapy, family therapy, play therapy, psychiatric medication treatment, evaluation, and referrals.

Services
CAFS at CFR offers the following services:
- Child & Adolescent Psychiatry: Psychiatrists meet with children, adolescents, and families to complete assessments, make treatment recommendations, and provide follow-up clinical services.
- Play Therapy: Clinicians meet with children and speak in the “language” of children – play and creative expression – to help them in ways appropriate to their level of development.
- Individual Therapy: Clinicians meet with adolescent clients to help them build autonomy, regulate emotions, and develop social skills.
- Family Therapy: Clinicians meet with families and caregivers to help them improve communication and build healthy relationships with their children.
- Collaboration: Clinicians collaborate with systems that are significant in the lives of children and adolescents—their schools, health care and mental health care systems, faith communities, and others.
