Jumping Mouse Children's Center

Jumping Mouse transforms children’s lives by providing expressive mental health therapy for as long as necessary. We nurture each child’s healthy development and supportive relationships at home and in the community.

We see children ages two to twelve for a variety of reasons, most often when they have experienced emotional stress or trauma that has deeply affected them and their families. Some are grieving the loss of someone close to them; others have experienced domestic violence, abuse, or neglect. Sometimes, they are coping with changes in family structure, or a serious illness or medical problem. When these and other stressors affect a child’s ability to communicate, to attend school, or to relate to others, Jumping Mouse can help.

We see children from all different types of families and do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, gender identity or expression, sex orientation, national origin, age, or ability.

Our unique model

Our unique model includes weekly one-on-one therapy sessions between the child and a specially trained therapist for as many weeks as necessary. While their child is in therapy, parents and caregivers also receive ongoing support. In addition, we meet with teachers and other important adults in the child’s life to develop a strong support system for the child and their family. Jumping Mouse Children’s Center is committed to unconditionally supporting each child’s therapeutic sessions for as long as needed regardless of the family’s ability to pay. We rely on community and foundation support to make this possible.
