Clinical Intake (60min)
A clinical intake is the logical first step in the treatment process. Its purpose is to ensure that all aspects of your experience are thoroughly understood and that a solid conceptualization of the problems can be developed for you and addressed in a treatment plan.
Individual Therapy (45min)
Receiving expert treatment and support will help you address the issues that cause problems for you and will help you achieve meaningful and lasting change.
Family and Parent Coaching
Family sessions and parent coaching are designed to complement the ongoing individual therapy of an adolescent or young adult patient, helping them to reach their therapy goals and improve their well-being.
Intensive Treatments
Intensive treatment is an accelerated, high-impact-short-term intervention that delivers targeted evidence-based care over 8-14 days to address a specific problem with therapeutic intensity. Intensives are designed to jumpstart progress or break through treatment plateaus when traditional pacing isn’t enough.
