Playful. Healthful. Hopeful.

Building the Foundation for Playful, Healthful, and Hopeful Living

Every child deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported. Center for Child Counseling provides counseling, education, and community resources that help children and families heal from adversity, build resilience, and thrive — grounded in more than 25 years of expertise in play therapy, trauma-informed care, and the science of early relational health.

Our approach is informed by the HOPE framework — Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences, developed at Tufts Medical Center — showing that positive childhood experiences don't just help in the absence of adversity; they actively change the trajectory of a child's life, health, and future well-being.
