BHSVA Supports Virginian Children & Teens Through Services Such As:
Psychological Evaluations & Assessment
Our psychological evaluations and assessments are designed to provide a thorough understanding of a child’s cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. Utilizing a variety of age-appropriate testing methods, our specialists carefully evaluate each child’s strengths and challenges to create a clear and comprehensive profile. These assessments are instrumental in identifying underlying issues, guiding accurate diagnoses, and informing the development of effective treatment plans. Whether for academic concerns, behavioral difficulties, or emotional struggles, our evaluations offer valuable insights that pave the way for targeted interventions and support, ensuring each child receives the care they need to thrive.
Children's Mental Health Therapy
Our children’s mental health therapy services for children and teens centers on providing compassionate, individualized care that nurtures emotional well-being and resilience. We understand that children may face a range of mental health challenges, from anxiety and depression to trauma and stress. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches tailored to each child’s developmental stage, creating a safe and supportive space where they can explore their feelings and learn healthy coping mechanisms. Through play therapy, talk therapy, and other age-appropriate interventions, we work to empower children to overcome their difficulties, build self-esteem, and develop the emotional tools they need to lead fulfilling lives.
Children's Behavioral Therapy
Our behavioral health services for children and teens are designed to address a wide range of behavioral challenges, helping children develop positive behaviors and social skills. Whether a child is struggling with ADHD, anger, defiance, or other behavioral issues, our specialists provide targeted interventions that are both evidence-based and age-appropriate. We work closely with children and their families to understand the root causes of behavioral concerns and create personalized treatment plans that promote healthy behavior patterns. Through a combination of behavior therapy, mental health skills-building, and family training, we aim to help children achieve greater self-control, improve their relationships, and thrive in their daily lives.
Intensive In-Home Services
Our Intensive In-Home Therapy program is designed to support children and adolescents ages 5 to 18 who are at risk of out-of-home placement due to behavioral, mental health, or substance use challenges. We also provide critical support for children transitioning back home after such placements. This program focuses on addressing key issues such as poor problem-solving abilities and difficulties in building healthy interpersonal relationships. By bringing therapeutic services directly into the home, we work closely with families to create a stable, supportive environment that fosters positive change. Our goal is to equip children with the skills they need to overcome challenges, strengthen family bonds, and remain in their home environment.
Youth Mentors
Our Youth Mentor Program connects children and teenagers with positive role models who provide guidance, support, and encouragement during critical stages of development. Designed for young people facing challenges in school, social settings, or at home, our mentors offer a trusted, consistent presence that helps build confidence and resilience. Through regular one-on-one interactions, mentors assist with goal-setting, problem-solving, and developing healthy coping strategies. They also help foster social skills and positive peer relationships, serving as both a friend and a guide. Our youth mentors are dedicated to empowering children and teens to navigate life’s challenges, make positive choices, and achieve their full potential.
Autism Services
Through our sister company Autism Services of Virginia we offer autism diagnosis & behavioral therapy. Our thorough autism evaluations accurately assess each child’s strengths and challenges, ensuring a clear diagnosis and a personalized care plan. Our Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy program, available both in-home and at our Richmond center, focuses on building essential skills and reducing behaviors that may interfere with learning and socialization. By working closely with families, our team of experts create a supportive, nurturing environment that empowers children and teens with autism to thrive in their everyday lives, enhancing communication, social skills, and overall well-being for their childhood and into adulthood.
