Kids Thrive Behavioral Health

About Kids Thrive Behavioral Health

Kids Thrive is a provider of behavioral health services focused on early mental health support for children ages 3 to 10 who face substantial behavioral difficulties. The center understands that early childhood plays a key role in building healthy social skills, and it works to assist children who may have been left out of standard childcare because of behavioral concerns. Through steady structure and predictable daily routines, Kids Thrive helps children move toward better readiness for school-based learning and peer relationships.

Kids Thrive delivers several program options designed for different clinical needs. Its day treatment program offers intensive services five days per week, combining individual and group therapy for children who require more comprehensive support. For children who already attend school, the school-based program provides afternoon sessions that continue treatment while supporting community involvement. The center also offers outpatient care, with session timing and length adjusted according to each child’s and family’s objectives. In addition to the Cincinnati location, Kids Thrive operates another site in Cincinnati and a third in Columbus.

A key feature of Kids Thrive’s services is the use of the Developmental Repair Model, an approach aimed at strengthening children’s ability to handle group settings and shared attention from adults. Parents and caregivers are actively included through family therapy and parent coaching, giving them practical strategies to respond to challenging behaviors. Treatment also includes a variety of engaging therapies such as music therapy, therapeutic arts, outdoor and gross motor activities, sensory integration, and pet therapy to provide a well-rounded experience.
