Outpatient Therapy Program

Program Description

Youth Dynamics understands that there are times in the lives of the children we serve when they need a trained professional to talk with about the problems they are experiencing. That is why we offer outpatient therapy services in each of our service locations. Each therapist is thoroughly trained to deal with the issues children and adolescents encounter.

Clients can engage in a therapy-only situation, or in conjunction with other YDI services such as Youth Case Management of Family Support Teams. Following a clinical assessment, therapy services are conducted on an “as needed” basis, initially on a weekly basis. YDI also offers family therapy if indicated, or by client request.

Program Benefits

The most fundamental and problematic issues can often be effectively resolved with the assistance of a trained mental health therapist. Therapy services are seen as basic to all other therapeutic activities at YDI. Our experience, as well as the ongoing results from outcome evaluations of these services, convinces us that they are highly effective in helping clients deal with challenges they face each day. YDI welcomes the opportunity to be of assistance to your family with our therapy services.
