Our Individualized Approach to Young Adult Therapy
Therapy at Momentum focuses on understanding you and what your unique needs are as a person. You’ll engage in twice-weekly individualized therapy, plus group therapy that supports you to define and create goals.
Momentum’s therapeutic approach centers on building healthy relationships with self, others, learning, and technology. Our relational-based model is informed through attachment theory, a strengths-based perspective, trauma-informed skill building, developing resilience, and community support.
Your strengths will be recognized, appreciated, and celebrated at Momentum. You’ll develop new relational and coping skills and work towards your individual goals.
We work to support you on a journey of growth and healing. Momentum can be a transformative experience, offering adventure, friendships, skill building, planning, self-advocacy, and family reconnection.
How Therapy Is Different at Momentum
Therapy at Momentum looks different from outpatient therapy in a couple of ways.
Empowering Growth: Challenge-By-Choice
You choose the opportunities that help you grow.
Hiking
You can enjoy hiking on our 800-acre property as well as in Dupont State Forest, adjacent to our campus and host to 86 miles of trails and several waterfalls. Longer expedition hikes take place on permitted trails throughout Pisgah National Forest.
Fishing
Our trout-stocked lake allows you to learn and practice fishing through most of the year.
Equine Rehabilitation
At Momentum, you can work with our Equine Specialist to practice verbal and non-verbal communication skills in equine rehabilitation sessions.
Develop skills on Lake Luellen, our on-campus lake, to get ready for optional extended canoe trips on lakes like South Carolina’s Lake Jocassee!
Outdoor Skills
Skills like fire-making teach you resourcefulness, perseverance, and independence.
Backpacking
Momentum’s extensive course areas in the Pisgah National Forest provide over 500,000 acres to explore! Plan optional 2 day backpacking adventures with our community.
Mountain Biking
You’ll get to learn mountain bike fundamentals and explore nearby trails in Dupont State Forest, a nationally known biking destination.
Rock Climbing
Local business partner Brevard Rock Gym encourages you to challenge yourself and gain confidence indoors while our adventure coordinator will lead you on stunning outdoor climbing trips!

Family Involvement
Momentum Parents learn the necessary skills to support their young adult.
As a parent of a young adult at Momentum, you have the opportunity to engage on a parallel track. You will learn skills that mirror the skills your young adult is learning. The focus during your work is identifying areas of growth, strength, and opportunity as a parent. You will engage in a weekly therapeutic coaching session and then have the option to attend a weekly parent support group via Zoom. In addition, you will participate in one parent workshop session to practice and apply skills alongside other parents of young adults.
