OUR APPROACH

Trauma-informed. Culturally relevant. Whole-child.

Our treatment philosophy is rooted in evidence-based practice and lived experience. We use TF-CBT, the PRACTICE Model, and mindfulness-based interventions to support youth navigating PTSD, anxiety, depression, and the everyday weight of life in risk-immersive environments. Most of our youth are paired with college mentors, and parents receive psychoeducation to support their parenting approach.
