We Know This Wasn’t the Plan

For parents and loved ones of those experiencing addiction or mental health issues, it’s common to feel overwhelmed, helpless, angry, and alone.

That’s why we provide an evidence-based treatment program focused exclusively on adolescents and their families. By treating the family system as a whole, we seek higher rates of success, addressing behaviors in context.

Help Your Young Adult Find Independence

Is your child a young adult who is seemingly unable to move toward greater independence and self-realization?

Sometimes called failure to launch syndrome, these young adults may need treatment to move forward past contributing factors, such as drug addiction and underlying mental illness.

Benefits of Evidence-Based Therapy

Evidence-based therapies use approaches that have been proven effective through scientific research. Your goals drive the design of your treatment, so you can trust that the skills you are gaining are actually relevant to the life you want to build for yourself.

Using evidence-based treatments, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), ensures that the methods used by therapists are not just based on theories but are backed by solid evidence so that your mental health care is never left up to chance.

Some additional benefits include:

Lasting Results

Studies have shown that these therapy treatments lead to longer-lasting results and empower you with effective coping skills.

Highest Quality Treatment

Our licensed clinical staff is trained in therapy treatments that are proven to be effective, which means they can provide you with the best care possible.

Clinically Effective & Cost Effective

Since these kinds of treatments are scientifically proven to be effective, the chances of relapse are less likely. This means you’ll be able to save more money in the long run.

More Accountability for Therapists

EBT requires specialized training in the different kinds of therapies, which means you are guaranteed qualified, verified therapists are in charge of your care.
