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.

You may do a session while fishing, on a mountain bike, in a canoe, or while watching the sunset over our lake!

Your therapy doesn’t just stay in your session. You’ll have immediate support from our team of mentors to take a new skill from a session and apply it to your day-to-day life at Momentum.

You will be in a community of peers who are also engaging in their own therapeutic work and dedicated to improving their lives.

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.
