Outpatient Therapy
Creating Bonds & Building Social-Emotional Well-Being for Children
KVC’s Outpatient Therapy program provides in-home services to youth, young adults and their caregivers to promote mental wellness, social and emotional well-being, and positive caregiver-child relationships. We work to meet the needs of children, adolescents and adults so they feel safe and connected to each other and their communities.
Services include a holistic assessment and plan for care that utilizes evidence-based treatment. We currently offer this program in these Nebraska cities: Omaha, Lincoln, Bellevue, Chalco, Gretna, La Vista, Milford, Millard, Papillion and Ralston.
This program provides:
- A caring, highly-trained, trauma-informed therapist
- Home-, school- and community-based services
- Evidence-based practices such as Child-Parent Psychotherapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- Session days and times that are convenient for the individual and family
