Staff

The TLC Child & Family Services staff consists of clinical psychologists, therapists, counselors, special education teachers, and social workers who have a passion for working with adolescents and their families. Our strength-based philosophy of treatment is reflected in the "Connections to Self, Others, and Community" skill sets which our staff believe can guide adolescents toward a successful outcome of treatment.

The residential staff provides a safe, consistent environment that promotes trust and personal empowerment. As an all-inclusive residential treatment program, our staff is responsible for all aspects of a teenager's welfare and safety. Staff arranges medical and dental appointments and ensures each child receives appropriate clothing and nutritious meals. Individual, group and family therapy is available through our Outpatient Mental Health Services. Recreational and leisure activities are provided to encourage physical activity, relaxation and enjoyment of community resources.

During the day, our houses are staffed with a 1:3 adult to child ratio and at night there is one awake overnight staff. Our staff are advocates for each resident's social and educational needs. All of the TLC staff undergo extensive background checks and are hired based on their education, previous work with youth and related life experience. Residential treatment staff is supervised by a Facility Manager and Social Worker who work closely with the Director of Residentially-Based Services (RBS).
