Lucie, Indian River and Okeechobee counties in Florida. Tykes & Teens has been a leading provider of the highest quality evidence-based mental health services and programs for children and adolescents for more than 24 years. The agency began offering services in 1996 in Martin County with the goal of strengthening local families by ensuring that all children have access to high-quality counseling and mental health services, regardless of financial status. Since then, we have expanded services to St. Lucie, Indian River and Okeechobee counties. Our passion and commitment is to empowering children and adolescents by developing innovative and unduplicated programs, and collaborating with community partners. We are accredited by The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations, licensed by the Florida Department of Children and Families, and meets or exceeds all federal, state, county, and local laws and regulations. We accept most insurance, private payments, and we are a Medicaid-approved provider. We have successfully administered a sliding fee scale for those in need when necessary for more than 20 years. Call us at (772) 220-3439 and one of our intake specialists will review insurance coverage and determine eligibility for the sliding scale. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency, we also provide $750,000 in unreimbursed services to the communities we serve each year. At Tykes & Teens, we believe that we cannot wait for another tragedy to happen – locally or nationally – to make affordable, accessible and high-quality mental health awareness and services a priority. We believe mental health matters every day. Our services build a healthier and more resilient community by helping children improve self-esteem; recover from sexual abuse, domestic violence and substance abuse; improve anxiety and depression symptoms; and develop the valuable skills they need to live a healthy and independent life. We also advocate for increased awareness of mental health to remove the stigma and shame often associated with seeking mental health treatment.
