Mission Statement
Our practice's foundational purpose is to provide a safe, compassionate, and supportive place for parents and caregivers of preteens, adolescents, and young adults struggling with mental health challenges. Our group-based practice was founded upon the fundamental belief that parents of psychiatrically at risk adolescents and young adults are (1) largely alone and need support, (2) need to learn and practice effective, evidence-based skills to develop efficacy in their parenting and (3) often have trauma or PTSD that can be exacerbated by the lack of support and self care. Families work best in a positive, strength-based approach leveraging evidence-based practices through CBT and DBT principles, as well as self care and compassion and establishing effective contingencies to help support their kid's capabilities.
- Program Overview: A supportive and clinical group-based weekly service that provides compassionate skill building and support for parents and caregivers with adolescents and young adults struggling with self-harm, suicide, anxiety, depression, PTSD, BPD, and/or OCD. Groups are led by an expert psychologist and author in parent guidance and support and group leaders have more than 30 years of experience helping families become more effective and resilient.
- Therapeutic Approach: Grounded in a positive, strength-based philosophy that primarily utilizes evidence-based modalities, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), as well as self-care and contingency buiding and management skills.
- Family Integration: Emphasizes systemic support by integrating expert, co-led parent skills and support groups to improve family communication, reduce conflict, and teach effective parenting and crisis skills while providing a small, compassionate virtual setting that can be accessed from anywhere in the United States.
- Flexible Delivery: Services are provided through small, virtual skills and support groups with additional individual parent coaching sessions available as well. Groups can be accessed from anywhere virtually and in addition to current outpatient or residential treatment or as a stand alone service to support families.
- Primary Goals: Equip parents with skills, communication, self-care and compassionate support to empower more resilient, communicative and effective family systems to cultivate a healthier, more supportive home environment.
