Adolescent Therapy Programs

Adolescence is a pivotal time for emotional growth, self-discovery, and building resilience. At Beachside Teen, we understand the unique challenges that come with this stage of life, especially for adolescents facing co-occurring mental and behavioral health disorders. Nestled in the serene beauty of Malibu, California, with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, our tranquil haven provides a supportive environment where teens can heal, thrive, and rediscover their potential.

Our Adolescent Therapy Programs are thoughtfully designed to address each teen’s unique needs, helping them develop coping mechanisms, strengthen interpersonal relationships, and embrace a healthier future.

Our Approach to Adolescent Mental Health Therapy

At Beachside Teen, we take a holistic and personalized approach to therapy. Adolescents are not defined by their diagnoses or struggles; they are individuals with potential and promise. Our therapeutic framework combines evidence-based treatments, experiential modalities, and a nurturing community to guide teens through recovery and personal growth.

Our team of licensed therapists, psychiatrists, and support staff collaborate to create tailored treatment plans. By addressing the root causes of mental and behavioral health challenges, we empower teens to develop the tools they need to navigate life’s hurdles with confidence.

Our Therapy Programs

Beachside Teen offers a diverse range of Adolescent Therapy Programs, each designed to foster healing, growth, and self-awareness. By integrating evidence-based treatments with innovative approaches, we provide teens with the tools they need to overcome challenges and thrive.

Behavioral
Therapy

This evidence-based approach focuses on identifying and modifying harmful thought patterns and behaviors that may contribute to emotional or behavioral challenges. Behavioral therapy equips teens with practical tools to recognize triggers, manage stress, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Over time, this therapy empowers adolescents to create positive habits, improve their emotional resilience, and rebuild their confidence in managing daily challenges.

Expressive
Therapy

Expressive therapy provides a creative outlet for teens to explore their emotions and communicate in ways that feel natural to them. Through art, music, dance, and creative writing, teens can process complex feelings and experiences in a safe, non-judgmental environment. This therapeutic modality not only fosters self-discovery but also helps teens build self-esteem, reduce stress, and develop new, healthy ways to express themselves and connect with others.

Family
Therapy

Family relationships are a cornerstone of a teen’s emotional and psychological health. Our family therapy sessions focus on improving communication, addressing unresolved conflicts, and fostering stronger, healthier bonds. By involving parents and caregivers in the therapeutic process, we help families better understand their teen’s struggles, create a supportive home environment, and develop strategies for ongoing growth and harmony. Family therapy also helps to heal relationships that may have been strained by behavioral or mental health challenges.

Individualized
Therapy

Every adolescent’s journey is unique, which is why individualized therapy is at the heart of our treatment approach. In one-on-one sessions, therapists work closely with teens to identify their personal goals, address underlying issues, and build a tailored roadmap for healing. This personalized approach ensures that every teen feels seen, heard, and supported as they navigate their path to recovery. Individualized therapy creates a safe space for self-reflection, emotional exploration, and growth at a pace that feels comfortable for the teen.

Interpersonal
Therapy

For many teens, social relationships are a significant source of stress and anxiety. Interpersonal therapy helps adolescents build and maintain healthier, more fulfilling connections with peers, family members, and authority figures. By focusing on communication, trust, and conflict resolution, this therapeutic approach enables teens to better navigate the social challenges of adolescence. Through practice and support, teens develop the skills needed to foster meaningful relationships and improve their overall emotional well-being.

Outdoor
Therapy

Set against the stunning backdrop of Malibu’s natural beauty, outdoor therapy integrates the healing power of nature into the therapeutic process. Activities such as hiking, yoga, mindfulness exercises, and team-building challenges encourage teens to reconnect with themselves and the world around them. Outdoor therapy promotes physical activity, reduces stress, and enhances overall well-being while providing teens with an opportunity to step outside of traditional therapy settings and embrace new perspectives on healing.

Personal Development
Therapy

Adolescence is a time of growth and self-discovery, and personal development therapy is designed to help teens explore their unique strengths, values, and goals. Through guided sessions, teens learn to cultivate self-confidence, embrace their individuality, and build a sense of purpose. This therapy fosters resilience and motivation, empowering adolescents to take charge of their future and approach life’s challenges with optimism and determination.

Psychodynamic
Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy delves into the subconscious mind to uncover the root causes of emotional and behavioral challenges. By exploring unresolved emotions, past experiences, and inner conflicts, teens gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their struggles. This therapeutic approach helps adolescents process difficult emotions, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and create a strong foundation for long-term emotional growth and stability.

Relapse Prevention
Therapy

For teens recovering from substance use disorders, relapse prevention therapy plays a vital role in maintaining sobriety and achieving lasting recovery. This therapy focuses on identifying triggers, building coping strategies, and creating a personalized plan to navigate high-risk situations. Relapse prevention therapy helps teens develop the tools and confidence they need to stay on track, avoid setbacks, and continue moving forward on their recovery journey.

Psychiatric Care

Adolescent psychiatric care at Beachside Teen provides a safe and supportive environment where teens can heal from depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health challenges. Our programs combine evidence-based therapy, psychiatric evaluation, family involvement, and academic support to help teens build resilience and stability. With a compassionate, multidisciplinary team, we guide adolescents through treatment while preparing them for a healthier future.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective, evidence-based approach that helps teenagers better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Many teens struggle with overwhelming feelings of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or impulsive behavior. CBT teaches them how to recognize unhelpful thought patterns, challenge negative thinking, and develop healthier, more positive coping strategies. By learning these skills, teens gain a stronger sense of control over their emotions and daily lives.

Group Therapy

Group therapy at Beachside Teen gives adolescents a safe space to share their experiences, connect with peers, and practice healthy coping skills. Led by licensed clinicians, our groups help teens build communication skills, gain confidence, and realize they’re not alone in their struggles. By combining peer support with evidence-based therapeutic approaches, group therapy empowers teens to grow emotionally, strengthen resilience, and move forward with hope.

Our Teen Treatment Programs

Beachside Teen offers a range of structured and supportive treatment programs, designed to guide adolescents through every stage of their healing journey. Our programs are carefully crafted to meet teens where they are, providing personalized care in a safe and nurturing environment.

Therapy Groups

Our therapy groups provide a space for teens to connect with their peers in a supportive and therapeutic setting. Facilitated by licensed professionals, these group sessions allow teens to share experiences, build empathy, and develop essential communication and coping skills. Group therapy helps foster a sense of community and understanding, which is a vital part of the healing process.

Residential Treatment

For teens in need of intensive care, our residential treatment program offers 24/7 support in a safe and structured environment. This immersive program allows teens to step away from daily stressors and fully focus on their recovery journey.
