Triumph Center, Inc.

The Triumph Center is a counseling and consultation practice in Reading that works with children, teens, young adults and families. Its services include counseling, psychological evaluations, summer programs and social skills groups, along with consultation and evaluations for schools and other institutions. The staff includes licensed psychologists, board certified behavior analysts and licensed clinicians who use evidence-based methods to help clients build hope, resiliency and lifelong development.

The social skills program is built on the idea that emotional, physical and social growth can be strengthened through cooperative, non-competitive play. Counselors simulate familiar play situations, slow the social scene down and coach participants through sharing, turn-taking, flexible problem solving and good sportsmanship. Groups are co-led and matched by age, developmental level, interests and behavioral style, and members include young people with ADHD, anxiety, autism spectrum disorder and nonverbal learning disorder.
