Therapies

We understand that each teen’s journey is unique, which is why we offer tailored therapeutic approaches based on their individual needs. Some of the techniques we utilize include:

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that helps individuals manage intense emotions, reduce harmful behaviors, and improve relationships. It was developed to treat a variety of symptoms, including depression, anxiety, and self-harm.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps teens identify negative thinking patterns and replace them with healthier, more positive ways of viewing themselves and their situations.

• Mindfulness & Relaxation Techniques: Encourages present-moment awareness, helping teens manage anxiety, stress, and emotional dysregulation.

• Art & Play Therapy: Creative outlets provide a non-verbal way for teens to express emotions, particularly for those who struggle with traditional talk therapy.

• Family Therapy: We encourage open communication and understanding within families, helping everyone work together to support the teen’s mental health.

• EMDR & Trauma therapy: EMDR is a science-based trauma therapy that uses bilateral stimulation to help individuals process and heal from distressing memories, calming the mind. This evidence-based method can greatly reduce the emotional impact of trauma, empowering clients to move forward with enhanced peace, resilience, and overall well-being.

• Neuro- Affirming Therapy : using the Polyvagal therapy approach that embraces neurodivergence—such as autism, ADHD, and dyslexia—as natural variations of human experience, rather than conditions to "fix." It creates a safe, accepting space where clients can explore their strengths and challenges without judgment. Therapists focus on strategies tailored to each person's cognitive and sensory needs, promoting self-acceptance, self-advocacy, and social and emotional skill-building. The goal is to empower individuals to thrive authentically, honoring their uniqueness.
