An intake session will usually last 60-90 minutes. Weekly sessions are 45-50 minutes. Clients in our Victim Services program can expect treatment to last between 16-30 sessions depending on individual treatment needs. Our Boundary Education treatment plan is generally 12 weeks. Long term Pathfinder clients can expect treatment to last 12-18 months. All programs schedule weekly individual sessions. Project Pathfinder clients may also attend a weekly treatment group.

Staff therapists are mental health professionals licensed as Associate Professional Counselors (APC), Licensed Professional Counselors (LPC) or    Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW). As a teaching agency, CCHH also works with masters level clinical interns who are under the supervision of a university supervisor and an on site supervisor.

Project Pathfinder is a unique treatment program designed to address problematic sexual behaviors in youth. Clients may be referred for Boundary Education services which are designed to address concerning sexual behaviors-providing skills, tools, and education to minimize the occurrence of future problematic sexual behaviors. Long term Pathfinder clients are often youth who have been adjudicated for their problematic sexual behaviors and may be mandated to treatment. This program works to prevent future problematic behaviors, increase respect, responsibility, and sensitivity toward others.
