"We hold the mess, so you can hold the moment."
Healing begins when people have a safe place to bring the messy, complicated parts of their story. We focus on understanding, awareness, and growth — helping clients make sense of their experiences and move forward with clarity and confidence.
To extend an olive branch is to say: I am willing to meet you where you are.
🌿 Counseling & Therapy Services
Individual therapy (ages 3 and up), family therapy, blended family therapy, coparenting counseling, couples counseling, pre-marital counseling, recovery counseling, trauma-focused therapy, EMDR, play therapy, Play Modeling for Parents, water therapy, sand therapy, guided hypnosis, ADHD therapy, Autism Sensory Exposure, divorce counseling, separation adjustment counseling, and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT).
🤝 Family Reunification
A four-phase, clinically guided process for reunifying a parent and child after an extended absence. Advancement between phases is based on clinical readiness, not a fixed timeline.
Individual Preparation
8 individual therapy sessions, completed in full before a parent may move into the second half of PCIT. Parents in active recovery also work concurrently with a sobriety specialist.
PCIT Parent Coaching (8 weeks)
Weeks 1–4: Parent-only psychoeducation, held in our PCIT group with our psychologist.
Weeks 5–8: The child joins sessions, contingent on both (a) completion of Phase 1's 8 individual sessions, and (b) approval from the child's individual play therapist. If the play therapist does not approve, the parent repeats weeks 1–4 before the child joins. Family therapy begins running concurrently once the child joins, and continues through the remaining phases.
Supervised Visits
Held at our on-site Play Café, offered Thursdays and Saturdays. Each visit begins with 30 minutes of family therapy, followed by supervised visit time.
Unsupervised Visits
Family therapy continues on its regular schedule, independent of where unsupervised visits take place. Because unsupervised visits are, by definition, not monitored, families are not required to hold these visits at our Play Café — the space remains available to families who'd like to use it, but the location is entirely the family's choice.
👨👩👧 PCIT Group
10-week group format: weeks 1–5 with parents only (skill-building), then weeks 6–10 with children present. A parent who does not pass the first five weeks restarts with the next five-week rotation, unless social services documents an exception for why the child cannot join weeks 6–10.
📋 Assessments
- Parental Capacity Assessments — multi-source, court-focused assessment (interviews, standardized measures, parent-child observation, collateral contacts, records review) with a written clinical report. Standard fee $500; payment plans and sliding scale available.
- Court-Ordered Assessments — mental health, substance use disorder (SUD), and emotional injury assessments through our in-house providers; compiled into a single court package when an ROI is on file.
📚 Parenting Education & Mediation
Parenting Classes
DCBS-approved Nurturing Parenting Program curricula (Coparenting, Parenting After Abuse, Protective Parenting), taught by a licensed, NPP-certified provider; offered as an eight-class course or weekend intensive.
Protective Co-Parenting Mediation
For families with EPOs, DVOs, or safety concerns; parents are never required to share a space. Individual sessions, rotated scheduling, and a written summary of agreed terms for the Court.
🧩 Therapy Groups
- Grief & Anger Group (combined) — one combined group given the overlap between the two; 8–12 weeks depending on progress or social worker requirement.
☕ Play Café, Open Play & Custody Exchange
- Court-day open play — free supervised open play with a play guide for our weekly therapy clients who are in court at the adjacent courthouse, with a note signed by their attorney; free for up to 3 hours, then $20/hour. Non-therapy clients: $20/hour.
- Open play for active clients — clients receiving weekly services, including CPS-referred clients, receive free open play access during the week.
- Custody exchanges — court-referred families may use the play café at no cost as a neutral, supervised, child-friendly exchange setting.

📖 What is TCM?
Targeted Case Management (TCM) is a Medicaid-covered service that helps individuals and families gain access to the medical, social, educational, and other resources they need. Through TCM, a case manager assesses each family's needs — taking a history, identifying what supports are needed, and gathering information from family members, providers, and other sources — then connects the family to appropriate services, coordinates care, and follows up over time.
🎉 TCM Client Supports
TCM clients receive free open play, free access to our hosted children's events, and TCM Thursdays — a standing community day with free lunch, food pantry, laundry help, and resources such as free haircuts and car-seat installation psychoeducation. Reunification visits are encouraged on TCM Thursdays.
In need of extra resources? Email ArielN@theolivebranchtppc.com. TCM Thursdays offers free lunch, activities, and open play for our therapy friends enrolled in TCM services.

🔗 Case Coordination
We coordinate with social workers, drug court, and other involved parties throughout every case, provide bi-weekly updates to the assigned social worker, and compile findings into a single package for the Court when an ROI is on file.
