SEQUOIA CENTER
A place of healing for children and families
What is Sequoia Center?
Sequoia Center provides therapeutic services to children and families who have experienced sexual trauma. Our goal is to support healing with compassion, structure, and clinical excellence—helping families move forward with greater clarity, safety, and connection.
Sequoia Center is part of Higher Ground Counseling's broader, integrated model—allowing coordination with programs like Wayfinder and Sitka to support both sides of complex family systems when needed. This unified approach helps ensure consistency, communication, and better outcomes across care.
A Specialized, Trauma-Informed Approach
Sequoia Center is home to a team of licensed, trauma-informed therapists from diverse clinical backgrounds. Our clinicians integrate a range of expressive and evidence-based approaches, including:

This allows us to meet the complex and individualized needs of the children and families we serve.
