Clinical Services
Supporting the Mental and Emotional Well-Being of Children and Families
The Clinical Services Team (CST) at the Washoe County Human Services Agency (HSA) provides short-term, evidence-based mental and behavioral health services to children and families. These services are designed to promote emotional well-being, strengthen relationships, and support stability during times of change or crisis.
Our team is dedicated to ensuring every child and family receives compassionate, confidential, and professional care through therapy, consultation, and ongoing support.
How We Support Children and Families
Therapy and Intervention: CST provides individual and family therapy to support reunification, prevent placement disruptions, and stabilize children in care. Services also include placement prevention for children at risk of out-of-home care and reunification therapy for families working toward reunification.
Clinical Consultation and Case Support: Our clinicians work closely with families, caseworkers, and foster parents to address each child’s emotional, psychological, and developmental needs through collaboration and evidence-based strategies.
Foster and Adoption Support: Specialized services are available for foster and adoptive families, including pre- and post-adoption counseling, clinical support for placement stabilization, and assistance with special needs adoptions.
Training and Education: Targeted training and workshops help families and staff strengthen their understanding of child development, trauma, and behavioral health to improve care and promote long-term success.
Committed to Family Healing and Resilience
The Clinical Services Team includes licensed clinicians, clinical interns, supervisors, and support staff who work together to provide compassionate, evidence-based care for children and families. Their shared goal is to promote healing, emotional growth, and family stability.
CST is a cornerstone of HSA’s mission to strengthen families and foster lasting emotional wellness. Through early intervention, collaboration, and care, the team helps children and families overcome challenges and build healthy, resilient futures.
