# Therapy & Clinical Services — KidsTLC (Outpatient, Respite, Residential & Autism Services)

- [KidsTLC](https://www.kidstlc.org/) is a nonprofit children's behavioral health agency in Olathe (480 S. Rogers Rd.) with four service lines. — *[Kana Love, Oct 2026](https://fwmparents.org/sessions/20261018_Kana_Love_Sibling_Relationships/notes.md)*
    - [Lotus Clinics](https://www.kidstlc.org/services/outpatient/): outpatient individual and family therapy, an [intensive outpatient program](https://www.kidstlc.org/services/intensive-outpatient-program/), and medication management in the same building. — *[Kana Love, Oct 2026](https://fwmparents.org/sessions/20261018_Kana_Love_Sibling_Relationships/notes.md)*
    - [Thrive planned respite](https://www.kidstlc.org/services/support-and-respite/): weekend stays (Friday night to Sunday night) on the main campus, equipped to support children with significant behavioral health needs. Access is through referral partners such as a community mental health center (Kana mentioned [Johnson County Mental Health Center](https://www.jocogov.org/department/mental-health) for Johnson County families) or a foster care agency; the respite team screens each child individually. Contact KidsTLC for current eligibility and payment details. — *[Kana Love, Oct 2026](https://fwmparents.org/sessions/20261018_Kana_Love_Sibling_Relationships/notes.md)*
    - [Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF)](https://www.kidstlc.org/services/psychiatric-residential-treatment-facility-prtf/): 24/7 residential treatment, typically for several months, for children whose safety needs can't currently be met at home or in the community; admission requires a clinical screening. Family therapy and parent groups are built into treatment, there are family suites on campus, and students attend school on campus through Olathe Public Schools' [Claire Learning Center](https://www.olatheschools.org/academics/support-programs/claire-learning-center). The goal is a child who returns home able to engage in outpatient therapy and stay safe with their family, not a "miracle." — *[Kana Love, Oct 2026](https://fwmparents.org/sessions/20261018_Kana_Love_Sibling_Relationships/notes.md)*
    - [Trellis Center](https://www.kidstlc.org/services/autism/): integrative autism services (ABA, speech, OT, assessments). Kana noted that many ABA-based programs are built around early intervention and often end in the preteen years, so ask providers about the age ranges they serve. — *[Kana Love, Oct 2026](https://fwmparents.org/sessions/20261018_Kana_Love_Sibling_Relationships/notes.md)*

- Kana's clinical work draws heavily on [Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy](https://ddpnetwork.org/), Dr. Dan Hughes' attachment-based therapy, with "connection before correction" and repair as core practices. — *[Kana Love, Oct 2026](https://fwmparents.org/sessions/20261018_Kana_Love_Sibling_Relationships/notes.md)*
