Therapy for Teens: 

 

Our clinicians are trained to work with teenagers. They understand the issues that face teenagers today and they are ready and prepared to address issues of technology, cyber bullying, sexual orientation struggles, eating disorders, pornography use, social anxieties, challenges from divorce, and emotional struggles from step/blended families. 

 

We ground and base all of our work in attachment therapy so you will be an important part of your teen's support system and their overall recovery and treatment plan. 

 

We will help parents and teens learn to communicate better and grow closer in their connection. Parents are a vital part of a teenagers success in any of the emotional and mental health work they do so be prepared to be involved. We ask all of our parents to spend at least 1 hour per week one-on-one with their teen. We are going to! So you should too!

 

All of our clinicians are trained to meet with and involve parents in the treatment plan and the healing process so you will be invited to meet regularly with your child's clinician and will be an active part of the healing process. We strongly feel that the teens best chance at lasting success is when parents are involved in the process and when they are assisting in the changes and healing work these teens need. We won't be around forever, but you will! And we want to make sure you have the tools and skills needed to continue to support and help your child throughout their life, even after therapy ends. 

 

Therapy for Young Adults: 

 

We specialize in helping young adults. We know the challenges and struggles they face. We are equiped to help with depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders, pornography, and trauma among other issues.

 

Many of our young adults in society today are "failing to launch" out into society and away from home. Getting a driver's license, a job, and bank account seem like daunting and overwhelming tasks. We provided therapy to help young adults gain the neccessary and vital skills they need to move on to their next important phase of life. 

 

We create and help our young adults through a tailored treatment plan to assist them in developing the mental and emotional capacities that can propel them into greater mental health. 

 

We are most interested in helping young adults create healthy and lasting relationships and this includes with their parents and family. Unless there is a valid reason such as abuse or continued harm, our therapists will never encourage young adults to "cut off" their parents, siblings, or other major support systems or people. Instead we will encourage and train them in how to create healthy and lasting connections using a healthy and proper understanding of boundaries and boundary setting, connection building and emotional resilency tools. Our goals is to strengthen the connections of our clients, not to diminish them, and we can help do that as we teach young adults the tools and skills needed for building healthy and lasting connections so they don't have to avoid or remove them from their life.

 

The end goal isn't to help them learn to purge anything out of their lives that is "uncomfortable" or that feels "hard". The goals is to strengthen their mental capacity so that they can feel safe and strong in many different environments and in all kinds of places so that come what may they can function in their strongest and healthiest capacity and form no matter what life throws at them.
