When your child struggles with a mental, behavioral, or emotional health crisis, you want to do whatever you can to help. But not every challenge has a clear solution. And sometimes we need support from others to make it through the storm. Our outpatient treatment services give families the tools they need to overcome these challenges together. Where others see obstacles, we see opportunity for growth. Through compassionate, comprehensive treatment, we give children and teens the best chance to overcome their hurdles and build a brighter future.
Community members can access services via our online Outpatient Referral Form or by emailing us at therapyreferral@tanagerplace.org or calling at 319-286-4545.
Parenting is hard. But knowing when to ask for help can be even harder. At Tanager, we make it easy to find assistance when you’re concerned for your child. Our confidential Mental Wellbeing Clinic is designed to help kids and teens address behavioral and emotional challenges and improve their mental health—all while making sure parents have the support they need to face challenges with confidence.
We offer psychological testing to help families find answers. We provide data-based direction and insight to families who are experiencing cognitive, developmental, academic, or behavioral challenges.
Our highly qualified team is specialized in a wide range of modalities including Adlerian play therapy, AutPlay®, child-centered play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), family systems theory, narrative therapy, sandtray therapy, solution-focused therapy, strengths-based approaches, and trauma-informed care.
