Treatment Services

Building on the philosophy that it is healthy and therapeutic for children to interact with nature, Green Chimneys provides a treatment setting in which all interactions with staff and the environment have a potentially therapeutic value. Our multi-faceted clinical services incorporate an integrated program of counseling, psychotherapy, and animal-assisted/nature-based activities.

We employ a trauma-informed approach to create and maintain an optimal environment for safety and recovery, and staff is fully trained to develop a strong understanding and working knowledge of behavior management protocol. The practice of a fair and therapeutic application of behavioral support interventions assures the delivery of a high quality service to our children and their families.

Brownie

With the completion of an elaborate new habitat built by Green Chimneys’ woodshop students, the Farm Science classroom was able to welcome Brownie into her new home. Brownie previously lived alone in her cage in the farm and wildlife office, but guinea pigs do best in larger environments. The new habitat allows her to live in a herd as she would in the wild, with many places to hide and ways to practice her skills. Brownie has always been a social creature, and she has taken over the guinea pig herd but is a very peaceful leader.
