Treatment includes individual, group and family therapy, anger management, communication skills, emotional regulation, impulse control, self-esteem, social skills, stress management, self-injury and substance abuse.

We diagnose and treat adolescents with a variety of problems such as depression, anxiety, attention deficits, and other behavioral problems. By working closely with the youngster, family, primary care provider, school personnel, and others, we ensure that assessment and treatment is designed to meet the needs of adolescents and their families.

Parent Counseling & Guidance Group

Working together, families identify roles, expectations, and negative patterns while exploring the overwhelming effects of behavioral problems and/or substance abuse on the family system.

Within a supportive environment, parents learn better ways to handle frustration, guilt, apathy, and overwhelming feelings. Parents are taught communication skills, limit-setting, and ways to identify negative family patterns and substance abuse. Family Therapy is often incorporated to educate family members on the client's mental illness. Family members are strongly urged to participate in sessions.

Our Parent Counseling & Guidance Group works with families raising children and adolescents with developmental disabilities. The team’s goal is to help families improve coping with everyday stressors as well as to develop strategies to address more complicated behavioral and emotional issues. Our clinical team members are master’s level mental health therapists trained in the Positive Behavior Support model.

The program offers:

  • Help understanding the meaning of your child’s behavior
  • Strategies for working with your child more effectively
  • Links to community support
