What We Do

TRUE Center increases equitable access to trauma-based training, intervention, and prevention services for children, families, community members, and professionals in the DC metropolitan area.

Consultations

It’s common for family members to have questions about their child’s behavior and reactions following a traumatic experience. Programs include caregivers and are most successful with active participation. We can provide a brief assessment to help answer your questions and determine if treatment is recommended.

Initial

Child and Family Therapy

Our clinicians are experts in time-limited treatments that have been shown by research to work for children who have experienced trauma. All programs are designed for weekly caregiver attendance and active participation to be most effective.

AVAILABLE THERAPY SERVICES

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based treatment for children and adolescents who have been impacted by trauma. 

Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention (CFTSI) is a brief, evidence‐based early intervention for children that reduces traumatic stress reactions and the onset of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). CFTSI is implemented shortly following a traumatic event or the disclosure of physical or sexual abuse.

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an evidence-based treatment for young children with behavioral problems. PCIT with traumatised children helps alleviate trauma symptoms and gives caregivers specific strategies to help their child with emotion regulation

Problematic Sexual Behaviors

Problematic sexual behaviors involve inappropriate or harmful touching of body parts. With the right support, children can learn strategies to improve impulse-control skills, remain in control of their bodies, and follow home and school rules. We offer cognitive-behavioral treatments designed to treat incidents of problematic sexual behavior.

AVAILABLE THERAPY SERVICES

Problematic Sexual Behavior - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (PSB-CBT) is a family-oriented, cognitive-behavioral, psychoeducational, and supportive treatment designed to reduce or eliminate incidents of problematic sexual behavior. This program is designed with weekly caregiver attendance and active participation.
