Our team focuses on helping children and their families through the challenges they may face with group, family and individual counseling.

APEX Program

APEX is a state funded program dedicated to providing school based mental health services to children, adolescents and their families. Staff work closely with school staff to identify the needs of students and link them to the appropriate services.

Designed specifically for youth with substance use problems, to motivate change, and to support success in implementing changes. This Program also helps with co-occurring life skill deficits, situational problems and psychological problems.

They also may recommend and refer individuals and their families for psychological evaluations, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy, Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTFs), or specialists.

Some treatment modalities used at Legacy Behavioral Health Services are aggressive replacement training, strengthening family’s concepts, seven challenges, cognitive behavior and trauma focused therapy.
