Troubled Teenager Program
Therapeutic Approach At PLP

Boarding school for boys and girls

We know that people’s behaviors are influenced by their attitudes and motivation, which are formed by their views of themselves and the world. When these beliefs are unhealthy due to damage, trauma, or distortion, we have a problem. This is especially acute in teenagers, who have neither the adult capacity for good judgement, nor the life experiences to inform their character. Once we understand your teen’s problems, we begin our work with individual and group counseling.

Each student is assigned to one of our staff psychologists, who will provide individual therapy. These twice-weekly sessions are opportunities for doctor and student to assess past ineffective coping skills, beliefs, and behaviors. By reviewing family history and social environment, we can identify key events and relevant circumstances that eventually led to their destructive behavior patterns.

Troubled Teenager Programs are a viable option for parents that need professional help in regaining control over their teens.
