Our Mission
At Building Bridges Counseling Service, our mission is to deliver compassionate, evidence-based mental health care that helps children and teens heal, grow, and thrive. We are committed to closing gaps in access to care and creating a safe, supportive space where every young person’s voice is heard and their story valued. “Every child deserves to be seen, heard, and given the tools to build their own bridge toward healing.”
Healing begins with connection. Our highly trained and certified team, licensed clinical social workers, and specialized child therapists, use trauma-informed, strengths-based methods such as play therapy, EMDR, and cognitive-behavioral interventions. We meet each child at their developmental level, helping them build confidence, resilience, and lasting emotional wellness.
