Treatment Approach
CBT
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps young people with low mood and anxiety by teaching them ways to identify and manage their feelings, challenge their thoughts, and engage in new or different behaviour.
TF-CBT
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT) helps clients process traumatic experiences and learn ways to minimize the impact of trauma in their lives.
Attachment
An attachment approach can help parents understand their teen’s behaviour and learn new ways to respond to their teen’s needs while setting limits, in order to strengthen the parent-teen relationship.
