- ETHOS THERAPY APPROACH
Our Therapeutic Approach for Teens
Every adolescent’s journey at Ethos Wellness begins with a thorough assessment to understand their unique needs, strengths, and challenges. Based on this, a personalized treatment plan is uniquely designed to address their specific concerns and goals. Our therapists utilize a range of evidence-based approaches, adapting sessions to each teen’s pace and comfort level. Through weekly sessions and holistic coordination, we help adolescents build lifelong resilience.
Key therapeutic modalities and approaches include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This approach helps teens identify and challenge negative or unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or behavioral issues, restructuring them to improve mood and behavior.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT equips adolescents with crucial skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, helping them manage intense emotions and build healthier relationships.
- Trauma-Informed Care: Our therapists are trained to acknowledge and safely process past traumas, creating a secure environment that fosters healing and promotes resilience.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI): This collaborative, client-centered approach enhances a teen’s intrinsic motivation and commitment to change, empowering them to take an active role in their therapy.
- Psychodynamic Therapy: Explores unconscious patterns and root causes of current struggles, fostering deeper insight and healing.
- Expressive Techniques: Teens may also engage in sandplay therapy, meditation, journaling, and other creative expressive techniques, tailored to their comfort and therapeutic goals.
