Infant and Early Childhood
Mental Health Therapy
Infant and early childhood mental health therapists provide early intervention for children from birth to five years of age. A developmental assessment is used to evaluate each child’s individual strengths and needs to determine eligibility for services.
After an intake assessment, our team will provide a comprehensive evaluation for the child and family. Through a developmental assessment, we evaluate each child’s individual strengths and needs to determine eligibility for therapy and services. Then, our early intervention team will review the evaluation, work together, and decide which service the child is eligible for.
If a child is found eligible, our early intervention team will provide comprehensive services. All of these services are provided through office-based and home-visiting programs.
Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation
We provide infant and early childhood mental health consultation (IECMHC) services to our Early Care and Education Program and other preschools, daycare centers, and early childhood settings. If you require IECMHC service, please contact us!
There are three types of IECMHC, including programmatic consultation, classroom consultation, and child-/family- centered consultation. These three subtypes are not always clear when put into practice, as consultants may engage in two or all three types of consultation in order to meet the identified needs and goals.

Parenting Program
Our professional, licensed infant and early childhood mental health therapists and infant-family specialists will facilitate parenting workshops around various themes. These workshops share information about the importance of promoting the early social and emotional development of young children with families.
The program also aims to promote families’ understanding of early social and emotional development by sharing child development information. This program supports parents by giving them an understanding of the family’s key role in shaping their child’s foundational learning about themselves, their emotions, and their way of interacting and relating to others.
