Children 1st

At Children 1st we serve youth who have experienced trauma and/or stressful situations that have resulted in negative consequences. Building on the core values of integrity, confidentiality, self-awareness, and accountability, Children 1st provides a safe haven for individuals in addressing the various issues that are currently present in their lives.

All of the clinicians at children 1st are dually licensed (LSW/LCADC, LCSW/LCADC). In addition over half the staff are certified in complex trauma.
