Licensed Therapists for Children and Families
Childplace Counseling Services delivers comprehensive outpatient therapy and psychiatric medication management across two Southern Indiana locations in Jeffersonville and Sellersburg, both a short drive from New Albany and downtown Louisville, KY. Our team of licensed therapists provide evidence-based care for children (ages 5 and older), adolescents, adults, couples, and families to treat a myriad of mental health diagnoses. To meet the diverse needs of our clients, our therapists provide a wide range of therapeutic modalities.
Childplace is a Christian nonprofit agency, serving Southern Indiana families since 1966. Counseling Services welcomes individuals of all faiths and backgrounds.
What We Believe and Why Us
At your first session, a licensed therapist will complete an initial clinical assessment to gather needed information to formulate an individualized treatment plan tailored to your specific mental health goals. For clients seeking medication management, concurrent engagement in therapy is required. We believe in an integrated model of care, where medication is most effective when paired with therapeutic intervention rather than used as a standalone solution.
Counseling for Children and Teens
Most calls to our office start with a worried parent. Maybe a teacher raised a concern, or a child's anxiety now decides how every morning goes.
Our child therapists regularly help with:
- Anxiety and depression
- ADHD and defiant behavior
- Trauma, abuse, or neglect
- Grief and divorce
- School and peer problems
- Adjusting after adoption or a foster care placement
Children/adolescents process thoughts and feelings through play and expressive therapies, typically more than traditional talk therapy. Treatment is tailored to the needs of each child/adolescent.
Family Therapy and Marriage Counseling
In addition to youth services, adults also seek Childplace Counseling Services, for a variety of personal challenges including depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, etc. To support individuals recovering from substance use disorders, our clinical staff includes a Master Addiction Counselor. We also offer couples and family therapy to rebuild connections and resolve systemic conflict in a structured environment.
Clients often benefit from an integrated approach, utilizing individual and family sessions, depending upon the treatment plan tailored to meet your needs.
