About Kennedy Krieger Institute Columbia - Center for Child and Family Traumatic Stress
Located close to Maryland Route 32, this outpatient center supports children and teens ages 2 through 21, along with their families, as they work through trauma-related challenges. Services are designed to address conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and stress responses connected to abuse, neglect, and exposure to violence. The program also emphasizes family involvement, helping caregivers promote emotional development while respecting each family’s cultural background. The clinical team provides evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and parent-child interaction therapy. Youth are helped to understand and regulate emotions, while building a renewed sense of safety. Support is delivered through a mix of structured conversations, movement-based activities, and play-centered interventions, with caregivers staying actively engaged throughout. Goals are tailored to strengthen self-control and improve relationships both at home and in the broader community. In addition, the center features the Center for Developmental Behavioral Health, offering care for young people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and learning difficulties. The Specialized Transition Program assists children recovering from brain injuries or other serious medical conditions by providing brief, targeted therapy to support their return to school and everyday routines. Group meetings and mindfulness activities further help youth cope with grief, loss, and traumatic experiences as they move toward recovery.
