ADOLESCENT SERVICES

WHAT WE TREAT

Mental health is a crucial component of our overall well-being, and adolescence often presents challenges in this area. In the U.S., nearly 1 in 5 teens experiences a mental health condition, highlighting the widespread nature of this issue among the younger demographic. Disorders such as anxiety, depression, and ADHD can profoundly affect a teenager’s daily life.

However, effective mental health treatment programs can successfully manage these conditions. At MHTCA, we understand the unique mental health needs of adolescents. Our adolescent treatment programs provide critical support, guidance, and professional intervention to help teens navigate these challenges, fostering resilience and promoting overall mental wellness  to successfully navigate their mental health journey and live the fulfilling life they deserve.

Evidence-Based Adolescent Therapy

We provide adolescents with a variety of mental health therapy programs designed to help them navigate the challenging years of adolescence. Our compassionate and welcoming mental health professionals are dedicated to supporting teenagers through this critical stage of development. Our therapy programs include:

Family Therapy
Family Therapy
Family therapy is utilized to help with education about mental health conditions, how to avoid triggers, and how to support each other. Intervening with family members can help with repairing relationships and addressing challenges encountered by the adolescent and their loved ones.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to treat a range of mental and behavioral health concerns. These include depression, anxiety, substance use disorder, eating disorders, and severe mental health conditions. Our team of trained therapists works directly with patients to reframe negative thinking patterns and develop healthy coping skills. Through working with a trusted therapist, adolescents can identify how their conditions manifest while learning to make healthier choices.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a modified version of CBT. However, the goal of this therapeutic approach is to teach patients mindfulness techniques and emotion regulation. Adolescent patients will learn how to manage their emotions and find alternative coping skills to walk through distressing emotions. Through this approach, patients will be able to have improved relationships with others and stop self-destructive behaviors.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-based therapy uses similar techniques to CBT. Our team of clinicians uses this therapeutic approach to teach adolescents mindfulness. This helps patients learn to consciously pay attention to their feelings and thoughts. We teach all of our adolescent patients not to place judgments on their thoughts or feelings as they experience them.
Individual Therapy
Individual Therapy
We use individual psychotherapy or individual therapy to help treat our adolescent patients. During individual therapy, patients participate in a joint process with a qualified therapist. We use these sessions to discuss topics and challenges that are specific to the needs of each patient. During individual therapy, a clinician will determine the course of sessions and adjust a treatment plan as needed.
Group Therapy
Group Therapy
Group therapy is a process led by a trained group facilitator or multiple facilitators. During these sessions, patients will be participating with their adolescent peers who have similar mental and behavioral health challenges. Group therapy sessions are a time for patients to relate their experiences to one another. This process also helps build community and allows patients to feel supported in their recovery.
Art and Music Therapy
Art and Music Therapy
We utilize art and music therapy to help adolescents explore their emotions and find release. Our team focuses on the healing power art and music can have on people struggling with mental and behavioral health conditions. Patients will be encouraged to explore different artistic and creative mediums to heal and grow.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma Therapy
We want to ensure that all adolescents in our care are treated with the patience and compassion they deserve. Our therapists are trained in the techniques of trauma-informed therapy. We use this approach for any of our patients who are recovering from trauma. These patients mustn’t be re-triggered or re-traumatized while undergoing treatment.
