The Child & Family Guidance Center of Texoma exists to strengthen, improve, and empower the lives of hurting Texoma children and families, through compassionate and restorative mental healthcare. We achieve this through our clinical treatment services and prevention and intervention education programs. Services include individual, family, marriage and group counseling, psychological testing and parenting skills and divorce education programs. Daily we receive calls for help from overwhelmed parents and guardians of children that have experienced and/or been exposed to domestic violence, sexual abuse, a difficult divorce, or loss of a loved one. Just for a moment imagine that you are Teddy, a soft, cuddly teddy bear which 5 year old Sarah holds onto each week during her play therapy sessions at the Child & Family Guidance Center of Texoma. Sarah holds tight to Teddy for safety and security while she shares with her therapist the overwhelming grief of losing her mother in a car accident. Her tears stream down Teddy's ears and nose. He doesn't mind; he knows they are part of the healing process. At the Child & Family Guidance Center children, like Sarah are provided a safe place to go and a caring adult to share their deepest hurts and feelings. That mix allows true healing to happen.
