Individual Therapy
Each young woman participates in individual therapy at least once a week where they meet with a licensed mental health clinician who provides a safe and supportive, yet challenging, environment for them to process their thoughts, feelings, and experiences
Group Therapy
We operate several group therapy sessions each week to address issues that our young women may be struggling with and to present other routes for healing. The three group areas are as follows:
Conditions We Address
- Anger
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Drug and Alcohol Abuse
- Eating Disorders
- Reactive Attachment Disorder
- Suicide and Mental Health
- Teenage Drug and Alcohol Abuse

Suicidal ideation, or suicidal thoughts, means having thoughts, ideas, or ruminations about the possibility of ending one’s own life. It is not a diagnosis but is a symptom of some mental disorders and can also occur in response to adverse events without the presence of a mental disorder. Call 988 or visit https://988lifeline.org/
