Clinical
Therapy
Oak Hill’s Clinical Therapy focuses on assisting the young people in overcoming challenges experienced in their family of origin as well as supporting the child’s developmental and treatment needs. Young people receive therapy from highly-trained and experienced clinicians registered with a professional association.
The frequency of individual sessions can range from weekly to monthly, depending on the needs of the young person. Psycho-educational assessments and crisis intervention services are also provided. Psychiatric services may be provided on-site and integrated into other areas of service.
