  • Assessment: We begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand each teenager’s specific challenges, strengths, and goals. 
  • Individualized Support: Based on the assessment, we create a personalized support plan that addresses the specific needs of each teenager, including psychometric testing where appropriate.

  • Family Involvement: We encourage family involvement to improve communication and foster a supportive environment at home. 
  • Future Planning: We assist teenagers in exploring their interests, setting academic and career goals, and creating a roadmap for their future.
