Holistic Therapies

  • Personalized Treatment Plans: Treatment plans are a collaborative, client-driven effort between the young adult, their therapist, and their family. Students actively participate in identifying their own strengths, unique needs, and goals.

  • Individual Therapy & Group Therapy: Students engage in 1-on-1 sessions with their primary therapist twice a week to address personal mental health concerns and goals. Therapist-facilitated peer group therapy sessions also occur twice weekly.

  • Experiential Therapies: Hands-on, nature-based therapies can include creative art activities, outdoor experiences, and equine therapy to promote healing, personal growth, self-expression, relational skills, emotional resilience, and overall well-being.
