Mindfulness-Based Interventions - Portum Behevioral Health

Mindfulness-based interventions create space for healing, clarity, and balance. By learning to focus on the present moment with openness and calm, you can reduce stress, strengthen resilience, and nurture a greater sense of peace and fulfillment in daily life.

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.

Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) encourage teens aged 14 to 17 to focus on the present, fostering a greater awareness of their thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. This practice helps teens manage stress, reduce anxiety, and improve emotional regulation. By teaching teens to observe their experiences without judgment, this form of therapy empowers them to respond to life’s challenges with calm and clarity. This approach is especially helpful for adolescents dealing with anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation, providing them with tools to cultivate resilience and self-acceptance.

What Our Mindfulness-Based Program Offers

Our program incorporates various mindfulness practices designed to support emotional well-being and self-awareness, helping teens develop a calm and grounded approach to life:

Guided Meditation Sessions
Teens are led through meditation exercises that focus on breathing, body awareness, and relaxation. These sessions encourage them to slow down, clear their minds, and connect with a sense of inner peace.

Breathwork and Focused Breathing Techniques
Focused breathing exercises teach teens to use their breath as a tool to manage stress and anxiety. By learning to breathe mindfully, they can ground themselves and stay calm during challenging moments.

Body Scan and Awareness Exercises
Teens practice body scanning to increase awareness of physical sensations and connect with how their emotions affect their bodies. This exercise promotes relaxation and helps them recognize early signs of stress.

Mindful Movement Practices
Incorporating gentle movements, such as mindful stretching or yoga, helps teens release physical tension and develop a positive connection with their bodies. These practices foster both physical and emotional balance.

Skills for Everyday Mindfulness
Teens learn practical mindfulness skills they can apply in everyday situations, such as mindful eating, walking, and listening. These tools help them stay present and focused, enhancing their overall well-being.

At Portum Behavioral Health, our mindfulness-based interventions provide teens with valuable tools to cultivate a sense of calm, focus, and resilience. By practicing mindfulness, adolescents learn to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and self-awareness, empowering them to respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively. If you’d like to learn more about our mindfulness-based interventions and how they can support your teen, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

MBIs help teens develop a sense of calm, focus, and emotional awareness by teaching them to be fully present and engaged in each moment. These interventions reduce stress and promote resilience.

Sessions typically last between 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the teen’s needs. Our therapists provide a supportive, relaxed environment for practicing mindfulness techniques.

No prior experience is necessary. Our therapists guide teens through each practice, making mindfulness accessible and enjoyable for beginners and experienced individuals alike.

MBIs may include guided meditation, breathing exercises, body awareness, mindful movement, and everyday mindfulness practices, all aimed at reducing stress and enhancing emotional well-being.

Families can encourage teens to practice mindfulness regularly, create a peaceful space at home, and participate in mindfulness activities together. Our therapists can also provide guidance on fostering mindfulness at home.

Yes, MBIs complement other therapeutic approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), enhancing overall treatment by promoting emotional regulation and stress management.
