CHC provides assessment and treatment services in multiple disciplines, including psychiatry, psychology, neuropsychology, social work, education, behavior management, family therapy, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy and art therapy. Our goal is to help children reach their maximum potential by building on their strengths and teaching them strategies to overcome their challenges.
