Healing Starts Here
Therapy & Treatment
Welcome to Promises Connected Family Treatment Services — where healing begins and communities grow stronger. We offer a comprehensive continuum of care designed to meet individuals and families wherever they are on their journey.
Evidence-Based Trauma Treatment
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
TF-CBT is a structured, evidence-based treatment model designed for children, adolescents, and their caregivers who have experienced trauma. It integrates trauma-sensitive interventions with cognitive behavioral, family, and humanistic principles to address the full impact of traumatic experiences.
- Children, adolescents & caregiver dyads
- Trauma processing and symptom reduction
- Caregiver skill-building and psychoeducation
- Structured, time-limited treatment model
Strengthening Families Under Stress
Alternatives for Families: A Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (AF-CBT)
AF-CBT is an evidence-based treatment for families experiencing conflict, coercive parenting, or child physical abuse. It addresses the individual, family, and contextual factors that contribute to family dysfunction — building skills for healthier relationships and reducing the risk of harm.
- Families with conflict or coercive dynamics
- Reducing physical discipline and aggression
- Building positive parent–child relationships
- Individual and conjoint family sessions
Safety First in Trauma & Substance Use Recovery
Seeking Safety
Seeking Safety is a present-focused, evidence-based treatment for individuals with co-occurring trauma and substance use concerns. It teaches practical coping skills to help clients achieve safety in their relationships, thinking, behavior, and emotions — without requiring clients to process trauma directly.
- Co-occurring trauma and substance use
- Present-focused coping skill development
- Individual and group formats available
- Appropriate for diverse populations
Adolescent Substance Use & Behavioral Health
Seven Challenges®
The Seven Challenges® is a motivational, evidence-based counseling program designed specifically for adolescents with substance use and co-occurring behavioral health challenges. It engages young people in honest self-reflection and decision-making rather than confrontation or compliance.
- Adolescents with substance use concerns
- Co-occurring behavioral health challenges
- Motivational, non-confrontational approach
- Individual and group counseling formats
Healing the Whole Family
Family Systems Therapy
Family Systems Therapy understands individuals within the context of their family relationships and patterns. Rather than identifying one person as "the problem," we work with the entire family system to shift dynamics, improve communication, and build healthier relational patterns that support lasting change.
- Families navigating relational conflict
- Intergenerational patterns and dynamics
- Communication and boundary work
- Conjoint and multi-generational sessions
Rebuilding the Foundation of Connection
Attachment-Focused Treatment
Attachment-focused treatment addresses the relational wounds that occur when early bonds are disrupted by trauma, loss, or inconsistent caregiving. Our clinicians are trained to work at the intersection of attachment theory and trauma-informed practice — helping clients build secure, trusting relationships.
- Children, adolescents, adults & families
- Early relational trauma and disrupted bonding
- Parent–child attachment repair
- Integrated with TAPE Repair™ framework
Rewriting the Story of Trauma
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Cognitive Processing Therapy is a structured, evidence-based treatment that helps clients understand and change how they think about their trauma and its aftermath. CPT is particularly effective for PTSD and is delivered in individual or group formats, guiding clients through a process of examining and challenging unhelpful beliefs rooted in traumatic experiences.
- Adults and adolescents with PTSD
- Challenging trauma-related stuck points
- Individual and group formats available
- Structured 12-session evidence-based protocol
Healing Through Structured Narrative
Written Exposure Therapy (WET)
Written Exposure Therapy is a brief, evidence-based treatment for PTSD that uses structured writing exercises to help clients process traumatic memories. WET is a highly accessible and effective alternative for individuals who may not be ready for more intensive trauma processing, requiring only five sessions to complete.
- Adults with PTSD and trauma histories
- Brief, five-session structured protocol
- Accessible alternative to prolonged exposure
- Reduces avoidance through narrative writing
Treating the Whole Person
Substance Use & Co-Occurring Treatment
We provide integrated outpatient treatment for individuals and families navigating substance use alongside mental health challenges. Our approach recognizes that substance use is often rooted in trauma and unmet relational needs — and we treat both simultaneously rather than in isolation.
- Integrated substance use and mental health care
- Trauma-informed recovery support
- Family involvement and psychoeducation
- Co-occurring disorder treatment planning
