Therapy

The clinical program at La Europa provides intensive services to help each student experience healing.  We use a combination of insight-oriented therapeutic approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy, expressive therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, family systems therapy and trauma informed care such as EMDR. 

•  Individual Therapy:  Occurs one time per week, and depending on the needs of the student can happen two times per week in shorter increments.  With many therapeutic modalities provided, we work as a treatment team to determine the best therapist fit for each student.  
• Family Therapy: Occurs one time weekly for an hour and a half using video conferencing.  These sessions provide families with the opportunity to work through issues together to heal and gain skills as a family. 

• Group Therapy: Occurs daily Monday-Friday with students receiving both regular, process-oriented group therapy and expressive arts therapy.
