Teen Mental Health Treatment in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho

Among the various psychotherapeutic methods we utilize, regular individual therapy sessions, held four times a week, are a cornerstone of our program. These daily, one-on-one sessions with a therapist provide a safe and intimate setting for our clients to deeply process their traumas and personal issues.

This consistent therapeutic schedule helps our residents solidify the progress they make in other areas of our program. Through this approach, they gain crucial insights into their challenges and how these are being addressed and transformed within the supportive environment of our program.

At Paradigm Treatment, clients participate in regular group counseling sessions multiple times per day. This process can be incredibly impactful for their healing and growth. While all humans are inherently social, the need for connection, recognition, and interpersonal development is especially pronounced during adolescence and young adulthood.

The relief, strength, and courage our clients find in group therapy can emerge in just a few moments, yet the positive effects of these moments can last a lifetime.

At Paradigm Treatment, we recognize the profound connection between our clients and their families. Therefore, we integrate weekly individual family counseling and additional parent support into our therapeutic process. While we treat the whole individual in every aspect of our residential teen mental health program, the familial context is fundamentally important. We assess family dynamics holistically, understanding that these dynamics can foster healing long after our program concludes.

We also support families by providing therapeutic guidance, resources, and support to equip our clients with the skills and tools they need as they transition back home. Our goal is to empower not just the client, but their entire support network for life beyond Paradigm.

We utilize a variety of evidence-based therapies to help our clients better understand themselves and the challenges they face. Our therapeutic program is designed not only to provide our clients with insights into their issues but also to equip them with effective coping strategies and skills that will last a lifetime.

To achieve this, we employ a carefully tailored blend of trauma-informed and mindfulness-based therapies, including psychoeducation and Family Systems therapy. These modalities have been proven in numerous studies to create powerful, long-lasting changes across different age groups, and this holds true for teens and young adults as well.
