Beyond Talk Therapy: How Eva Carlston Academy Helps Girls Transform Their Lives
When a student is struggling with emotional or behavioral challenges, effective therapy is crucial to her healing. At Eva Carlston Academy, therapy isn’t just about addressing the symptoms—it’s about empowering each student to understand herself, build healthier relationships, and rediscover a sense of purpose.
Individual Therapy: A Foundation for Growth
Each student works closely with a licensed psychotherapist who serves as both her case manager and dedicated therapist. Individual therapy sessions, held at least twice weekly, are highly personalized to address the unique needs of each student. These sessions focus on:
Processing past experiences and identifying emotional needs.
Building resilience and emotional regulation skills.
Exploring and setting personal goals for the future.
Through these one-on-one sessions, students gain the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges, both during treatment and beyond.
Family Therapy: Strengthening Connections
Families play a key role in the healing process. At Eva Carlston, weekly family therapy sessions provide a safe space for families to rebuild trust, improve communication, and strengthen bonds. Sessions are tailored to each family’s needs and can include in-person meetings, virtual calls, or group seminars. This collaborative approach ensures that positive changes extend beyond the individual student to benefit the entire family.
Group Therapy: Finding Support Among Peers
Adolescence is a time when peer relationships are incredibly influential. For many students, group therapy provides a safe and supportive environment to explore these dynamics. During sessions, students learn critical skills such as communication, boundary-setting, and conflict resolution. Group therapy also fosters a sense of belonging, helping students feel understood and supported by their peers.
A Comprehensive Approach
What makes therapy at Eva Carlston unique is the way it integrates seamlessly into the student’s broader experience. Our Lifestyle Therapy model ensures that therapeutic goals are reinforced in every aspect of daily life. Whether through structured recreational activities, family meetings, or mentorship from Youth Mentors, students are supported in applying the skills they learn in therapy to real-world situations.
For families exploring therapeutic programs, Eva Carlston Academy offers a holistic approach that truly transforms lives.
