Psychotherapy Services
Treatment for children and adolescents is quite different than typical therapy with adults.

Medication Therapy
Medication treatment for children and adolescents with emotional/neurological problems is a highly specialized area of expertise.

Forensic Services
The Sullivan Center has on staff several doctoral level psychologists who are more than five years post licensure, and who have experience in forensic/legal evaluations and have served as expert witnesses in court.

The Well Child Concept
A child clinician can serve many roles. Traditionally only parents whose children were having significant problems took their child to see a psychologist. Ignorance led to some social stigma, with the notion that families should handle their own problems. MORE

Approved by the American Psychological Association
In addition, we are currently approved by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences to provide CE courses to Marriage Family Therapists and Licensed Clinical Social Workers. In coordination with local area CE providers, we strive to provide ongoing training opportunities to assure that Central Valley clinicians have ample courses to meet licensure requirements. It is our goal to develop advanced clinical training opportunities.  MORE

JoAnn Pflughoft
Jo Ann worked as a secretary in New York for over 12 years at Weyerhaeuser and BK Lighting.  She left New York following the events of 9/11 and joined us in 2002.  Jo Ann is a proud mother and grandmother and a hard worker.  “She has a keen mind and a quick wit,” says one of the staff.  “Her smile is a warm welcome when arriving to work in the morning.”Her position here is rather complex and can be defined in many ways.  Her numerous roles at the Sullivan Center are better described by staff as “what doesn’t she do?”  She is a “jack-of-all trades” here as well as in her personal life (can you say “general contracting skills”?).  MORE
