About Center For Life Skills
The Center for LifeSkills is a small, privately-owned clinic. The comfortable environment promotes healing not only for the child - but for the whole family. We're not a medical office. The Center is located in a low-traffic area with direct access to our waiting room from our parking lot.
Parents are often surprised at how comfortable their "hard-to-transition children" are in our office - even on the first visit. We are very proud of this. We make therapy life easy with flexible scheduling handled by the therapists. We are happy to talk on the phone and return e-mails quickly.
Please note that without member information we cannot guarantee that your specific plan covers these services. We recommend asking the care provider before beginning services.
