Strength-Based Services Designed for Student Success
Therapeutic Strength-Based Services (TSS) provides student-centered, strength-based services that support emotional well-being, positive behavior, and academic engagement. Our services are designed to align with school environments, respect student dignity, and promote long-term skill development—not short-term fixes. We work collaboratively with schools, families, and support teams across Ohio to ensure consistency, clarity, and meaningful progress.
Our Value
A Strength-Based, School-Aligned Approach
Every service we provide is guided by the same principles:
- Focus on student strengths first
- Support emotional and behavioral skill-building
- Align services with educational goals
- Promote consistency across environments
- Maintain dignity, safety, and respect
This model allows students to receive support without being removed from learning or labeled by challenges.
WHAT WE OFFER
Services Designed Around Students and Schools
Mental health assessments
Mental health assessments help clarify student needs while identifying strengths that can be built upon.
Our assessments are strength-focused, age-appropriate, and informed by the school context. They are used to guide individualized support plans and help teams make thoughtful, informed decisions that support student success.
Individual Therapeutic Support
Individual therapeutic support is tailored to each student’s needs and developmental level.
Support may focus on emotional regulation, coping strategies, behavioral awareness, communication skills, and building confidence and self-esteem. Sessions emphasize practical skills that students can apply in school and daily life.
Play-Based Therapeutic Interventions
Play-based therapeutic support allows children to express emotions, process experiences, and build skills in developmentally appropriate ways.
This approach is especially effective for younger students and those who benefit from experiential learning, creative expression, and structured, supportive interaction. Play-based methods are always guided by clear goals and strengths-based planning.
Group-Based Skill Development
Group-based therapeutic services help students develop social, emotional, and communication skills through guided interaction.
Group support may focus on peer relationships, emotional awareness, social problem-solving, and cooperation and boundaries. Groups are structured, goal-driven, and facilitated with respect for individual needs.
Behavioral Intervention Services
Behavioral intervention services are designed to support positive behavior and reduce barriers to learning.
Our approach emphasizes understanding behavior in context, identifying strengths and triggers, teaching replacement skills, and reinforcing positive progress. Behavior support plans are individualized and aligned with classroom expectations whenever possible.
Social Skills Development
Social skills services help students build confidence in interacting with peers and adults.
Focus areas may include communication and listening skills, understanding social cues, managing emotions in social settings, and building healthy peer relationships. Support is delivered in ways that promote confidence and inclusion.
