Trauma Services
Do you suffer from PTSD? Have you been in a serious car accident or experienced some other life-changing trauma? Panic attacks, sleepless nights and flashbacks can be devastating. We can ease the crippling anxiety and help you move on with your life again.
Adolescent Services
Children who face domestic violence or sexual assault need all the compassionate support they can get. The same holds true for adolescents who struggle with substance use or crises at home. At Phoenix, we extend our programs, services and therapies to children and adolescents, with the goal of long-term healing and recovery.
SERVICES
Our first goal is to relieve the immediate pain and trauma resulting from the crisis. The next step is to provide the ongoing support that’s needed for long-term healing or recovery.
