Adlerian Play Therapy (AdPT) is a therapeutic approach designed for children ages 3-10, drawing from the principles of Alfred Adler’s Individual Psychology. This approach helps children explore their emotions, beliefs, and social dynamics through play, a natural medium for self-expression. The therapy unfolds in four phases: establishing a trusting relationship, understanding the child’s lifestyle, gaining insight into their perceptions of self and others, and guiding them toward positive goals and constructive behaviors. Through these phases, AdPT is designed to support children in developing self-esteem, social interest, and problem-solving abilities. By providing a supportive and safe environment, the approach encourages children to navigate and make sense of their feelings, fostering personal growth, and helping them develop skills to interact in socially appropriate ways. The therapy aims to empower children with a sense of belonging and significance as they learn to understand and manage their relationships and emotions more effectively.

TF-CBT for Youth who have Experienced Trafficking and Commercial Sexual Exploitation (TF-CBT for T/CSE) is an advanced training for the use of Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) with youth who have experienced trafficking and/or commercial sexual exploitation and may have also experienced other traumas. This training outlines T/CSE-specific applications of TF-CBT PRACTICE components:

• T/CSE-specific psychoeducation
• Processing T/CSE-specific maladaptive cognitions in trauma narration
• T/CSE-related safety concerns including risk of leaving placement [“running away”] and T/CSE revictimization
• Strategies for addressing common T/CSE clinical challenges such as engagement and retention difficulties and significant emotional and behavioral dysregulation.

There is an emphasis on personal safety and supporting caregiver-youth relationships which are often particular concerns with T/CSE clients. TF-CBT for T/CSE can be used in an array of settings including clinics, homes, residential facilities, and in-patient units. This includes utilization with youth with absent or unavailable caregivers, those in foster care placements, and group homes, consistent with the many settings and circumstances in which youth who experience T/CSE are served.

When people forgive someone who has deeply hurt them, they let go of resentment and the urge to seek revenge, no matter how deserving of these things the wrongdoer may be. The forgiver gives the gifts of acceptance, generosity, and even love. Forgivers give these, not out of grim obligation. Rather, they are given because the forgiver has chosen to have a merciful heart. Forgiveness Therapy is designed to teach the participant how to forgive others through 4 distinct phases. It can be provided in individual or group sessions.

Research Units on Behavioral Intervention Parent Training (RUBI-PT) program consists of 11 sessions that are delivered from therapist to caregiver (1-on-1) in an outpatient setting. RUBI-PT teaches caregivers a range of skills, based on principles of applied behavior analysis, that are designed to support the building of a behavioral strategy toolbox. RUBI-PT emphasizes:

• Tailoring the intervention to the child
• Identifying behavioral function instead of topography to inform behavioral strategy choice
• Decreasing challenging behaviors as well as promoting core adaptive skills
• Using positive behavioral supports, such as antecedent management, reinforcement, and functional communication strategies as the means to address challenging behaviors

Typically, a session begins with a homework review from the previous week, followed by didactic instruction. RUBI-PT uses a behavioral skills-training approach, including direct instruction, modeling, role-play, video vignettes, and practice with feedback in order to train caregivers in the various RUBI-PT skills. These tools are helpful in reinforcing a new concept and identifying whether the parents understand the concepts. Every session ends with creation of a homework assignment where caregivers track their implementation of targeted strategies during the week.

Project ImPACT (Improving Parents As Communication Teachers) is a parent-mediated intervention for young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and related social communication delays. Parent-mediated means that a Project ImPACT coach teaches the parent techniques to be used with their child. The Project ImPACT coach uses systematic instruction to increase the parent's responsiveness to the child's behavior and teaches the parent how to use prompting and reinforcement to teach the child to use new communication, imitation, and play skills within child-led interactions. It is a naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention (NDBI). An NDBI is a newer class of intervention that has been informed by the fields of developmental and communication sciences and applied behavior analysis (ABA). Project ImPACT can be implemented in an individual or group coaching model and can be adapted for telehealth.

CCGPT is designed to be a developmentally responsive, play-based mental health intervention for young children ages 3 to 10 who are experiencing social, emotional, behavioral, and relational disorders. The program aims to utilize play (the natural language of children) and the therapeutic relationship to provide a safe, consistent therapeutic environment. In this environment, a child can ideally experience full acceptance, empathy, and understanding from the counselor and, at the same time, process inner experiences and feelings through play and symbols. Additionally, CCGPT allows for children to experience social interactions with 2-3 group members which hopefully enable the children to learn and practice new social and coping skills. CCGPT is appropriate for children who struggle with peer or sibling relationships, as well as emotional and behavioral problems. In CCGPT, a child's experience within the counseling relationship is designed to be the factor that is most healing and meaningful in creating lasting, positive change. Based on person-centered principles, overarching goal of CCGPT is to unleash the child's potential to move toward functional relationships and self-enhancing ways of being. Child outcome goals include decreased symptomatic behaviors and improvement in overall functioning.

CPS is a treatment model that is designed to help parents/caregivers and children learn to collaboratively and proactively solve the problems that contribute to the children’s challenging behaviors, with the goal of improving family communication, cohesion, and relationships. It is made up of four modules that teach parents: (a) to identify lagging skills and unsolved problems that contribute to oppositional episodes; (b) to prioritize which unsolved problems to focus on first; (c) about the Plans framework—the three potential responses to solving problems: Plan A (solving a problem unilaterally, by imposing the adult will), Plan B (solving a problem collaboratively and proactively), and Plan C (setting aside the problem for now); and (d) how to implement Plan B with their child by gathering information from the child to get a clear understanding of their concern or perspective, defining the adult concern on the same unsolved problem, and finally having the child and adult brainstorm solutions to arrive at a plan of action that is both realistic and mutually satisfactory. The clinician actively guides the initial problem-solving process, however, the goal of treatment is to help the child and parents become independent in solving problems together. In general, parent(s) and child are in attendance at all of the sessions, although there are times when a clinician may feel that it would be beneficial to discuss certain issues with the child or parent(s) individually.
