Comprehensive Clinical Assessment

The foundation of our psychiatric care is a detailed and thorough clinical assessment. This process is designed to understand each teen’s mental health condition, history, and current challenges.

• Detailed Evaluation: Our team of experienced psychiatrists conducts an in-depth evaluation to gather a complete picture of the resident’s mental health. This includes medical history, psychological assessments, and discussions about current symptoms and concerns.
• Collaborative Approach: We believe in a collaborative approach where residents and their families actively participate in the assessment process. Involving them ensures that all perspectives are considered and that the treatment plan aligns with the resident’s needs and goals.

Individualized Treatment Plans

Based on the clinical assessment findings, we develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to each adolescent’s specific needs. These plans are dynamic and can be adjusted to reflect changes in the resident’s condition and progress.

• Customized Care: Each treatment plan is uniquely crafted to address the resident’s mental health issues, considering their strengths, challenges, and personal goals. This personalized approach helps in providing targeted and effective interventions.
• Variety of Therapeutic Modalities: The treatment plans encompass a range of counseling and therapeutic modalities, ensuring a holistic approach to mental health care. This includes individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, medication management, and other evidence-based practices.

Counseling and Therapeutic Modalities

Our psychiatric care integrates diverse therapeutic modalities to provide comprehensive support to our residents. This multidisciplinary approach ensures that every aspect of the teen’s mental health is addressed.

• Individual Therapy: One-on-one sessions with trained therapists help residents explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a confidential and supportive setting.
• Group Therapy: Group sessions offer a space for residents to share experiences and support each other, fostering a sense of community and understanding.
• Family Therapy: Involving families in the therapeutic process helps improve communication and strengthen relationships, providing a support system for the resident.
• Medication Management: Our psychiatrists carefully manage and monitor the prescriptions of residents who require medication to ensure efficacy and safety.
• Specialized Therapies: Depending on the resident’s needs, we may incorporate specialized therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).
