Family Therapy

Family Therapy at Lakeside Academy

 

At Lakeside Academy, we recognize the crucial role that family plays in adolescents’ emotional and psychological well-being. Our Family Therapy program is designed to treat teens within the context of their entire family, ensuring a holistic approach to healing and growth. By involving family members in the therapeutic process, we foster an environment where everyone can support the adolescent’s journey toward recovery.

 

Inclusive Weekly Therapy Sessions

Our Family Therapy program includes weekly sessions that unite the entire family. These sessions provide a safe and supportive space for open communication, allowing family members to share their feelings and experiences. Through guided discussions, families can address conflicts, rebuild trust, and develop a deeper understanding of one another.

  • Individual Therapy: Adolescents receive personalized, one-on-one sessions with our experienced therapists. These sessions focus on the teen’s specific challenges and help develop effective coping strategies.
  • Family Therapy: Our compassionate clinicians facilitate therapy sessions for families, which aim to enhance communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen familial bonds.

 

Recovery Work and Group Activities

Recovery is an ongoing process that extends beyond individual therapy sessions. At Lakeside Academy, we incorporate structured recovery work and monitored group activities into our weekend programs. These activities reinforce the therapeutic principles learned during sessions and promote family unity.

  • Recovery Work: Families engage in structured exercises that support the therapeutic goals discussed in sessions. This hands-on approach helps solidify new skills and strategies for long-term healing.
  • Monitored Group Activities: Under the supervision of our skilled staff, families participate in group activities that encourage teamwork and effective communication. These activities provide a practical application of therapy concepts in a relaxed and enjoyable setting.

 

Expert Guidance and Support

Our highly trained therapists specialize in family therapy and adolescent mental health. They bring knowledge and empathy to each session, ensuring parents and teens feel understood and supported. Using evidence-based practices, our therapists tailor the therapy to meet the unique needs of each family, fostering an environment of trust and collaboration.
