Decade2Connect specializes in a family systems model for children and adolescents, providing care from outpatient sessions to a structured intensive outpatient program (IOP). This approach is built on involving the entire family unit as active participants in the therapeutic process. It addresses deep-rooted communication issues and conflict, ensuring that healing and growth are supported and sustained within the home environment long after treatment ends.
Treatment prioritizes hands-on engagement through specialized experiential therapies that go beyond traditional talk therapy. These methods are specifically designed to make therapy more accessible and effective for young patients, fostering creativity, self-expression, and genuine connection during the healing process. Using modalities like play, art, and music, children can process complex emotions and develop skills in a more natural, non-confrontational format. In addition, animal-assisted therapy is offered with their dog, Rigby, whose personality is well-suited for working with people.
A cornerstone of their program is parent coaching rooted in emotion-focused family therapy (EFFT), which equips caregivers with practical skills to become effective “emotion coaches” for their children. This training helps families navigate difficult feelings together. Combining this parent-focused approach with direct therapy for the child creates a comprehensive support system that strengthens family bonds and fosters long-term emotional resilience.
