Family Experiential Specialists
As family experiential specialists, New Haven uses expressive activities or objects to highlight patterns within an individual or family system. By using experiential therapy techniques, families can experience healing, not just talk about healing. By involving the entire family, we create lasting change for teenage girls and their families.
Healing the Whole Family
Families that come to New Haven want the best for their child. They have tried everything and are invested in their family's healing. At New Haven, we realize that lasting change in your child only occurs if your family changes in unison with her. Family involvement and participation in the therapeutic change process exponentially increases the treatment effect.
Each family member will be required to participate therapeutically and experientially so that the system can have the best chance for long-term success.
Through family events, family therapy, and parent coaching, we invite families to join their child in a process of grieving, growing, forgiving, and healing.
Our research-based, heart-driven approach to family work creates a safe emotional environment in which families can make lasting changes.
Family Participation Includes:
Experiential Healing
Our experiential therapy tasks and assignments have been developed and refined since the genesis of New Haven to address the specific and sometimes complex needs of teenage girls and their families. Not only do these assignments play a major role in family healing while at New Haven, but often families and students cite these therapeutic assignments as an integral part to the success they experience during the months and years that follow New Haven.
Family Healing Program
New Haven’s values-based healing Phases help our students take positive control of their lives by teaching them to shift control from an external locus (others control her) to an internal locus (she controls herself).
Therapeutic Recreation
Therapeutic recreation focuses on improving the psychological and physical health of the students by using recreation and other experiential interventions.
Our Clinical Approach
Our expert clinical team utilizes a variety of proven approaches to customize the care for each student and family. Our team collaborates often to ensure the proper use and success of those chosen methods.
