Therapy for Teens and Families
Our therapeutic services are designed to address a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns. We integrate various modalities to create personalized treatment plans that promote lasting change. Our offerings include:
- Individual Therapy: Individual therapy provides one-on-one sessions focused on a client’s personal goals, self-discovery, and the development of effective coping strategies.
- Family Therapy: This involves sessions with multiple family members to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen the overall family system.
- Trauma-Informed Therapy: This therapy offers care that recognizes the pervasive impact of trauma and intentionally creates a safe, stabilizing environment for processing and healing.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT is a skills-based modality that teaches practical tools in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is a structured, goal-oriented therapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT is a mindfulness-based approach that encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while promoting commitment to actions aligned with personal values.
Psychiatric Evaluation
A psychiatric evaluation is a comprehensive assessment conducted by one of our licensed psychiatric providers. This evaluation is essential for understanding the complex biological and psychological factors that influence a person’s mental health, providing a clear diagnostic picture. It involves a detailed clinical interview, a thorough review of personal and family history, and a collaborative discussion to form diagnostic impressions and tailored treatment recommendations, which may include exploring medication as part of a holistic plan.
Nutritional Evaluation
A nutritional evaluation is an assessment of dietary habits, nutritional status, and their direct relationship to mood, energy, and overall mental wellness. This service is beneficial because proper nutrition is a foundational pillar of brain health and plays a critical role in stabilizing emotions and improving cognitive function, especially in adolescence. Our evaluation entails a detailed conversation with a specialist to identify potential nutritional imbalances and co-create a practical, supportive plan to enhance both physical and mental well-being.
