About Life Connections Cedar Rapids
Nestled in the Oakhill Jackson area on the southeast corner of the city, Life Connections Cedar Rapids provides outpatient support for children, adolescents, and adults dealing with mental health issues, substance abuse, and co-occurring disorders. They work with clients starting from 18 months old, implementing age-specific therapeutic approaches in various settings, including clinics, educational institutions, homes, and virtual platforms.
The center's practitioners utilize proven methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, medication management, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Children diagnosed with autism can benefit from applied behavior analysis (ABA). The dedicated team comprises licensed therapists, counselors, and prescribers who prioritize stability and ongoing assistance.
A distinguishing aspect of Life Connections is its commitment to empowering clients to thrive in everyday life during their treatment journey. They provide in-person and online options that promote healthy daily routines, such as school-based therapy designed to help students regulate their emotions and enhance their focus in the classroom. For children experiencing serious emotional disturbances (SED), care is structured to enable them to safely remain at home.
