Founded in 1949 by Lincoln's Junior League, Child Guidance Center has been making a difference in the community by supporting families in their efforts to raise emotionally healthy kids.

Child Guidance Center provides a continuum of prevention, early intervention, and treatment options to meet every individual’s needs.
Services are provided by licensed mental health professionals with training and experience in the areas of psychiatry, psychology, social work, psychiatric nursing, relationship and family therapy, art therapy, play therapy, and counseling.  

Our Mission
Child Guidance Center is dedicated to meeting the mental health needs of children and their families in the Lincoln area and surrounding communities through effective and flexible therapeutic partnerships and a commitment to advocacy and positive social change.

Our Guiding Philosophy
Child Guidance Center has a philosophy that emphasizes understanding the unique qualities and experiences of each child as influenced by emotional and cognitive development, family situation, social environment, and personality.
Therapy with children is a dynamic, interactive process that examines problems while building on strengths. 

Whom We Serve
Treatment is available to youth ages 1-19 and their families from Lincoln and its neighboring areas who seek care for a wide range of mental, emotional, and behavioral issues. Therapists work with clients who experience varying degrees of difficulty, but often see youth who are depressed or suicidal, engaged in high risk behaviors, or have suffered physical/sexual abuse and neglect.
