Programming at Stabilization & Assessment
Stabilization
Our experienced and dedicated staff include residential aides, nurses, licensed therapists, and a clinical psychologist, all of whom are seeking to create a nurturing atmosphere where healing can take place. Through evidence-based therapeutic interventions including DBT, CBT, and the Safe and Sound Protocol application of Polyvagal Theory, we guide each adolescent on a journey toward emotional and behavioral stability.
Our goal in using the Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP) is to create a safe space for the adolescent brain and body to heal as well as access a calm and grounded state. This auditory intervention aims to enhance the regulation of the autonomic nervous system, promoting emotional self-regulation. Through specifically designed auditory exercises, SSP helps adolescents improve their ability to process and respond to emotional stimuli, resulting in enhanced emotional regulation and more receptivity to therapeutic support.
Psychological Assessment
A primary pillar of our program is to provide a comprehensive psychological assessment that is conducted by a licensed clinical psychologist. This evaluation is included in the program and ensures a tailored treatment plan that promotes long-term healing, understanding and growth. The individualized assessment will answer specific questions regarding each student’s treatment including IQ, academic achievement, executive functioning, learning disorders, and developmental disorders. Every family will be provided with a comprehensive report outlining the student’s history, testing results, interpretation, diagnosis, and recommendations.
