Creative Change Counseling Center

Introduction: We provide comprehensive assessment; psychiatric services; medication management; treatment planning; service monitoring; symptom management; supportive psychotherapy; family, marriage and grief counseling; case management and connection to support service; and after-hours intervention. By helping children, teens and their families discover their resilience and capacity for recovery, we foster healing and hope. In schools and in homes, we help young people and their families overcome the effects of poverty, violence, mental illness, and substance abuse. Our counselors provide a range of culturally appropriate therapies, including family therapy and play therapy for younger children as well as individual and group therapy. Creative Change's counselors provide therapeutic and assessment services for individuals who are struggling with challenges related to emotional health (like anxiety and depression), family problems, drug and alcohol use, peer relationship issues, child abuse, trauma, bullying, school difficulties, and behavioral problems. Our compassionate and professional staff are available to provide services at Renton, Kent, and Auburn schools and at times, in homes or community settings. We offer the following: * Individual Therapy * Play Therapy * Skill Building * Behavior Change Support * Family-Centered Therapy * Parenting Strategies * School-Based Early Prevention and Intervention Services -- In addition, we have established relationships with schools in the Auburn School Districts and provide extensive, school-based services.
