Fort Wayne Children Counseling Services

You're Not Alone In Caring For Your Child's Mental Well-Being

We provide the safe, judgement-free space that your child needs to make sense of the overwhelming feelings they may be experiencing.

Crosswinds has a team of dedicated therapists waiting to walk alongside you and your child as you learn to handle the stress, anxiety, and the larger issues that he or she may be facing.

We have tried other counselors and it has not really worked. The Parent Coaching you have provided has really made a difference in our home. We are finally seeing a difference in ourselves and in our kids.

Our provider was a great counselor and very compassionate. She didn’t push or force anything too soon. She helped our family with the circumstances we needed to work through. We have found a wonderful place to come back to if we need it. Thank you!

My provider was warm, trustworthy, non-judgmental, and approachable.
