A warm welcome to
Kindred Connections
Therapy Center
West Dayton's trusted source for therapy and counseling with African American children, youth and families impacted by trauma.
Welcome from Manicka Thomas, Clinical Social Worker. Kindred Connections Therapy Center is a community based behavioral health center. We are highly skilled Social Workers and Counseling Psychologist serving Trotwood, Jefferson Township and West Dayton, Oh.
If you are looking for help that is expert, confidential and tailored to you and your family's needs, we can help. We provide in person therapy or online therapy via SKYPE. Self referrals are welcome, or you may be referred by your family doctor, children services, the courts, a children's hospital, a psychiatrist or other health care provider.
In our experience, the most common reasons for seeking help are stress or feeling "stuck," general unhappiness, grief and loss, concerns with your child's behaviors, anger management, sexual abuse or racial battle fatigue.
We would love to talk with you about how we can help you reconnect with yourself or help your family get back on track, reconnecting with each other.
Call us at 937.421.1268 and tell us what you're having difficulty with.
