Encourage Empowerment Trauma Services is now a program of AZ Center for Change.
At Encourage Empowerment (EE), we offer a place of hope and healing, where children with trauma and their families can embark on a journey of recovery and growth. Our approach centers on the belief that youth can heal from trauma with the active support and involvement of their caregivers. By taking a whole-family approach to care, we aim to strengthen families while addressing the needs of each child.
​
We provide a variety of therapeutic services, including individual and family counseling utilizing evidence-based modalities such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and the integration of art and play therapies. These interventions are tailored to meet the unique needs of each child and their family, helping to heal the hurt places in their hearts and minds.
Our commitment extends to caregivers as well, equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to support their child through the healing process. We believe that by empowering caregivers, we create an environment where children can thrive and families can rebuild trust and connection.
​
To ensure accessibility, we offer telehealth services, evening appointments, and a range of treatment options, including individual, family, and group counseling. Our licensed professionals are highly trained and continue to enhance their skills through ongoing education. They are passionate about their work, dedicated to helping children and their families achieve emotional health and resilience.
​
In collaboration with our main location, we coordinate additional services to provide comprehensive care. At Encourage Empowerment, we are guided by our mission to heal the world one family at a time. We strive to create a safe and supportive space where children of trauma and their loved ones can find hope, take the first steps toward healing, and discover their best selves.
Our clinic is more than a treatment center—it is a place where evidence-based care meets compassion, and where families find the strength and support they need to move forward together. Through dedication, expertise, and partnership with families, we work to transform lives and foster a brighter future for all.
