The clinic was founded in 1985 and is located in Waltham, MA. It is founded on the belief that traumatized children, adolescents and adults are among the most underserved population in our community.
We offer specialized assessment and treatment services anchored in a comprehensive knowledge base, informed through experience and evidenced-based interventions, and provided by clinicians who are supported through multi-disciplinary clinical teams. We believe this represents both the child’s and the family’s greatest hope to find validation, safety and the tools for recovery.
