Young Women's Empowerment Center LLC

Our residential treatment center offers services to teen girls who are struggling with behavior management, substance abuse, and many areas of complex trauma. Young Women’s Empowerment provides support, resources, and a healing environment focused on Instilling HOPE and positive transformation; a VISION for a successful, bright future; and the COURAGE to overcome, adapt, and improve in all areas of life. Clients work one-on-one with a licensed and trained therapist in a safe, caring, and confidential environment to explore their feelings, beliefs, or behaviors, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, better understand themselves and others, repair and improve personal relationships, set personal goals, and work toward desired change. Many clients need an opportunity to work through traumatic events and attachment disruptions. Clients address emotion regulation difficulties. Decreasing symptoms of anxiety and depression is a frequent goal. Clients address thoughts and feelings of low self-worth and seek to increase personal confidence and empowerment. We do group therapy. This is conducted by a Licensed Therapist, with a maximum of 12 students. The focus is on changing maladaptive behaviors through activities that are based on cognitive behavioral therapy theory and dialectical behavior therapy. Group therapy addresses issues such as improving social skills, communication skills, and emotion regulation through discussion, role play, art, poetry, and music-assisted therapy, and written assignments. In addition, group therapy focuses specifically on expressing anger and other emotions appropriately, decreasing symptoms of anxiety and depression, PTSD issues, and addictions.
