Life’s journey of adoption & foster care can impact social, emotional and regulatory development and influence the lives it touches in ways not often addressed by many mental health professionals. TRAC’s therapists specialize is adoption and foster care related issues and are both experienced at understanding and identifying these issues and broadly trained to address them. Areas of specialty include pre-adoption family counseling, parent-child attachment, family therapy, identity and independent living.

TRAC Services for Families also offers traditional individual and family therapy services to children, adolescents and adults. We serve people who are going through a variety of life stressors such as parent and child conflict, behavior concerns in the home, school and community, relationship issues, employment concerns, life transitions, physical health, sexuality and gender identity, trauma and specifically racial trauma. A variety of diagnoses are treated included ADHD, Anxiety Disorders, Autism, Mood Disorders and Trauma and Stress Disorders.

Expanding on TRAC’s longstanding history of providing therapeutic services to youth and families in the child welfare system, 

Reparative Relational Therapy (RRT) is a short term acute stabilization family therapy program that supports reunification with birth parents after a child or children have been removed from the home. The ideal situation for this program to begin is within 6 months of a placement. This program is a structured, nonjudgmental environment for caregivers and a safe nurturing environment for children, as they actively engage in the process of re-building and repairing family relationship. Families learn the skills needed to work toward reunification such as safety planning, conflict resolution skills, discipline and punishment, rewards and privileges and healthy communication skills. 

The length of this program is 90 days and referrals are received from CYF, KidsVoice or a Family Court Judge. Sessions occur at least once to twice a week for 60 to 90 minutes. Court reports are provided at day 45 and day 90 of the program which includes clinical assessments and treatment recommendations. 

Referrals are received by contacting the Outpatient Coordinator Candice Robinson at 412-471-8722 ext. 226
