Expert adolescent mental health professionals

Opportunities to learn skills vital for mental health and wellness

At Avery’s House, we know that everyone we help has their own unique story. With this in mind, we individualize our programs for troubled teens to meet each child’s specific needs. Our team comprises skilled adolescent mental health professionals who combine specialized knowledge with genuine empathy and insight. This approach lays the groundwork for trust, making it easier for teens to open up and share their thoughts and feelings.

Three factors that ensure a successful recovery journey 

Some troubled teen programs fail to incorporate all the elements essential to effective treatment. This oversight can make it difficult for adolescents to overcome mental health challenges. At Avery’s House, we recognize and avoid this mistake. We include three key components in our treatment that significantly boost the chances of successful recovery:

Family Involvement

  • Recognizing its critical role in recovery, we actively promote family involvement throughout treatment. Our approach includes family therapy and regular progress updates. We also provide meticulous aftercare planning to ensure a smooth return to life outside our walls.

Academic Support

  • We offer educational assistance to ensure teens keep up with their academic responsibilities while in treatment. This includes helping students complete assignments on time, offering personalized one-on-one tutoring, and teaching strategies for workload management to prevent overwhelm.

Medication Management

  • Sometimes, therapy alone isn’t sufficient for teens struggling with mental health issues, so we offer comprehensive medication management for those who need it. We ensure that every prescription is tailored to the unique needs of each teen, accurately dispensed, and closely monitored.

Director of Community Relations

In our programs for troubled youth, we provide exceptional clinical support to address a wide range of behavioral and mental health challenges, including

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Suicidal and self-harm thoughts
  • Bullying and victimization
  • ADHD and other attention difficulties
  • Substance use disorders
  • Trauma and adverse life experiences
  • Family and relationship problems

Note: While we wish we could help every Kuna teen, certain conditions fall beyond our scope. We’re unable to treat adolescents with a history of arson or other serious crimes. Also, our program isn’t equipped to handle individuals with severe substance abuse problems, overtly aggressive behaviors, major sexual issues, or other extreme diagnoses.
