Counseling 
CACPPC Therapist:  MacKenzie Lowe, MA, LPC 
​

 The Children's Alliance Center for Palo Pinto County offers individual services free of charge to confirmed victims of child abuse and their protective family members.

​

Our clinical counseling staff work closely with clients to determine an individualized treatment program for each child utilizing Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).

It is not unusual for a child to experience the following after a traumatic event has occurred:

  • Nightmares

  • Flashbacks

  • Sadness

  • Anxiety

  • Ange

  • Poor grades

  • Fearfulness

  • Drug/alcohol use

  • Self-harm

Although these can be normal reactions to abuse, it is important for children to learn healthy ways of coping in order to decrease these symptoms. Even if a child does not exhibit any symptoms, it can be extremely beneficial for them to speak with a trained professional to process what happened in order to make sure children understand and feel safe expressing their feelings. With the support of a protective caregiver and effective treatment, a child can recover without long-term negative effects. 

Happy Children
