Compassionate care for mental health, substance use, and co-occurring conditions to support lasting recovery.

Compassionate care tailored for teens and young adults to build resilience and lasting well-being.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is an evidence-based approach that helps adolescents aged 14 to 17 recognize and change unhelpful thought patterns that impact their emotions and actions. CBT focuses on developing constructive thinking and coping skills, which can be especially effective for managing anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, and a range of behavioral issues. In CBT sessions, teens learn to understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and actions, empowering them to respond to challenges in healthier ways. Guided by skilled therapists, CBT provides a structured yet compassionate path to building resilience and emotional stability.

What Our CBT Program Offers

Our CBT program includes a variety of resources and techniques tailored to meet the unique needs of each adolescent:

Individual Counseling Sessions
In one-on-one sessions, teens work with compassionate therapists to identify negative thought patterns and develop practical strategies to shift their thinking. These sessions offer a safe space for self-reflection and personal growth.

Skills-Building Exercises
Our CBT program incorporates hands-on exercises that help teens practice new skills, such as coping mechanisms, stress management, and problem-solving. These exercises make it easier for teens to apply what they’ve learned in real-life situations.

Goal Setting and Progress Tracking
We work with each teen to set achievable goals for their personal growth and monitor their progress. This structured approach allows teens to see their improvements over time, fostering a sense of accomplishment and motivation.

Group CBT Sessions
Group sessions provide a supportive environment where teens can practice CBT techniques with their peers. These sessions encourage open communication, shared experiences, and mutual support, reinforcing the skills learned in individual therapy.

Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques
Incorporating mindfulness exercises into CBT sessions helps teens become more aware of their thoughts and emotions without judgment. This awareness aids in reducing anxiety and promoting calm in difficult moments.

At Portum Behavioral Health, we’re committed to helping teens build lasting resilience and emotional well-being through CBT. By participating in our CBT program, adolescents gain the skills they need to manage challenges with confidence and develop a healthier outlook on life.
