The sole focus of our outpatient programs at BasePoint Academy is to support and treat teenagers experiencing behavioral and mental health disorders that affect their daily lives. During the treatment process, teenagers undergo several types of therapy in a customized approach based on their needs.
Nearly all teens at BasePoint participate in individual therapy, where they meet one-on-one with a licensed counselor or psychiatrist who helps them with the core principles of mental wellness and recovery. They may also participate in group counseling or family sessions. Additionally, our clinicians also provide medication management if your teen requires it.
The psychological fallout from the 2020 pandemic prompted the development of BasePoint Academy resiliency program. This treatment approach was influenced by the experience of adversity and teaching teens how to develop resiliency, which are steps they can use throughout their lives. We work with teenagers to help them shift their perspective about the challenges in their lives so they have the power on their own to bounce back from challenges and develop intrinsic motivation to heal and establish long-lasting change.
In addition to these treatment modalities, your teen’s customized program may include cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, trust-based relational intervention, teenage psychodynamic therapy, and other modalities.
