Counseling Department

While Sunshine Acres is not a treatment facility, we are a trauma informed community and offer a variety of individual and group counseling services aimed at providing extra support and guidance as well as addressing the social, emotional, behavioral and mental health needs of the children in our care. Trained Therapists utilize a variety of evidence-based approaches ranging from supportive services to trauma work to facilitate a healthy adjustment to their new living environment, improve social skills and relationships, reduce emotional distress and maladaptive behaviors, and to guide them in making positive choices in order to maximize their potential and improve their overall general life functioning.
