Germaine Lawrence’s in-home therapy program helps troubled children and families in their own homes.

Our comprehensive treatment approach includes family therapy, parenting skills education, educational interventions, development of positive peer groups, and extensive help for families and children in accessing community resources and long-term, ongoing support.

Germaine Lawrence’s counselors and therapists provide services to the family, rather than just to the child. We tailor services to meet each family’s needs. Families benefit from day-to-day coaching and problem solving, help with skills such as conflict resolution, negotiation, limit setting, communication, and advocacy. We will also help families access community based support services, and work with schools to assist with ongoing academic planning and behavior management issues.

For families who child is in an out-of-residence placement, we start services before the child returns home in order to facilitate as smooth a transition home as possible.
