La Europa Academy takes a holistic approach to therapy and growth for adolescent females while teaching social skills, interpersonal development, and work ethic. We believe that “acting out” behavior is a function of one’s self-perception, that depression, low self-esteem and misbehavior are almost always manifestations of deeper issues. We believe that to gain insight into behavior we must see and understand what is at the core of our perception of self. Often when life is out of control we adapt behaviors as a way of coping with what is experienced as overwhelming and unmanageable. We believe in individualized therapeutic approach. We use a strengths perspective to help your daughter see and gain insight into the child she was and the young woman she can become. We believe that by using different mediums such as art, and traditional therapy as well as a family systems approach we can facilitate a deep and meaningful change.

Our goal is to assist young women and their families in creating a climate for growth in which the root causes of behavior are identified and deep seeded beliefs about one self are addressed and forever changed. In order to achieve this, we employ therapists for clinical help, nurses for medical help, teachers for educational help, and a variety of non-clinical staff. The result is a safe, secure environment where teenage girls can receive the necessary therapy, care, and education to get them back on track 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
