TYB’s teen outpatient program offers three levels of care: Intensive Outpatient Program, Partnering with Hospitalization/Hospital Staff as needed, and 30-day outpatient services —all of which provide evidence-based treatment proven to help clients heal from mental health and co-occurring disorders, including trauma, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. Finally, with a personalized approach, we work tirelessly, exposing our clientele to necessary resources, increasing their understanding of healthy social demands. Become a healthy more productive member of society by building a life worth living.
The Benefits Of Whole Family Involvement & Healing
Family involvement is key to achieving sustainable healing, by shifting away the focal point as the patient being the “problem”. At these vulnerable times, strengthening authentic connections with self and others, including taking in to account healing disruptions in the parent-child bond, becomes the core of our focus. Teens need to build self-compassion, resilience, healthy coping skills, and more trusting relationships with parents and peers in order to thrive.
Signs That My Child Might Benefit from Outpatient Programs
Weekly teen and family counseling sessions with a local therapist can be extremely beneficial; however, some individuals need more support for regaining lost ground in mental health, executive functioning, and academics. An expanded short term treatment plan and possible higher level of care offers the multifaceted approach many families need to turn things around and start blossoming again.
Parents should consider seeking professional consultation if/when any of the questions below can be responded to with a “yes.”
-
Is your teen complaining of anxiety related to school, including both academics and/or peer relationships?
-
Has your teen had a hard time academically over the last year or more?
-
Has your child been withdrawn and not interested in friends or activities they once enjoyed?
-
Does your teen express hopelessness or sadness regularly?
-
Does your teen seem unmotivated and unfocused?
-
Is your child suffering from general lack of interest in activities once enjoyed and often demonstrates boredom?
-
Do you see signs that your teen might be abusing drugs or self-harming?
-
Is your child in weekly therapy, has seen other therapists in the past, but it doesn’t seem to be making a difference?
If parents are observing any of these red flags, our program addresses what’s going on before it gets worse. It’s important to tackle these issues promptly, because they don’t tend to go away on their own, and can indicate that a teen is vulnerable to a mental health crisis such as a suicide attempt.
Common Concerns Of Teen Counseling
My teen may be violent towards the counselor or therapist.
Our staff have years of experience helping people with mental health issues. They can speak to the teen and help them without letting the situation get out of control. However, parents must tell us if their teen has exhibited violent or criminal behavior in the past.
Expert Consulting Is Not Effective Or Worth it.
Studies prove that counseling is one of the best ways of dealing with many mental health concerns. It has numerous benefits for your teenager’s mental and emotional development. Besides addressing immediate concerns, counseling can equip them with invaluable skills that will prove useful later in life.
My son/daughter does not need a therapist. I can help them resolve their issues myself.
We believe parents play a pivotal role in the counseling process when they are being guided by a clinician who has years of experience/knowledge regarding mental health.
Talking about their problems will only make them worse.
Allowing your teen to express their concerns is important for their well-being. If these problems are left unaddressed, they can get worse with time. Our supportive team can help!
