Our Roots
Kindred Connections Therapy Center is a community based behavioral health center dedicated to restoring connections for the community’s most vulnerable children, youth and families. Kindred Connections' services are concentrated in four areas of service: individual counseling, family therapy, groups and professional development training. With the launch of our private practice in 2018, we specialize in trauma informed cognitive behavioral therapy and behavior disorders in children and adolescents.
