Our Primary Services
Adoption
Forming a family through adoption is an exciting process that can come with challenges. OCATT therapists use a family-centered approach to celebrate the good and address the challenges experienced by adoptive families.
Attachment
Children are born “wired” to connect with their caregivers. Unfortunately, early experiences of trauma disrupt healthy attachment. OCATT therapists help to address attachment challenges through the use of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP).
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
When the stress and anxiety of trauma linger long after danger has passed, a person may be struggling with PTSD or Opersational Stress Injuries (OSI). OCATT therapists are experienced in PTSD and OSI treatment with first responders and others.
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)
FASD is complex: it affects executive functioning and mental and physical health. OCATT therapists adapt therapy to meet the needs, and harness the unique strengths, of those struggling because of FASD.
