Therapy

Samoa Pond and Trees

The clinical services provided by in-house professional staff are core elements of treatment for each resident at Coral Reef Academy.

A carefully selected group of professionals with masters or doctoral degrees provide individual, group and family therapy. Recognizing that each resident is unique, Coral Reef Academy customizes an individual treatment plan for each youth. These treatment elements help residents develop communication and relationship skills, strengthen personal identity and foster pro-social attitudes and behaviors.

Individual Therapy
Each student participates in weekly individual therapy with his primary therapist, who is fully qualified to work with adolescents. During this time, issues appearing in the student’s master treatment plan will be addressed.

Group Therapy
For adolescents, group therapy has proven to be a most effective intervention to date in our type of setting, and is a key area of our program. All students will participate in regular group therapy supervised by a clinician. Many topics and issues will be addressed during these groups.

Family Therapy
Family therapy takes place on a bi-weekly basis. It is conducted over the phone as is the case in most therapeutic schools/treatment centers.
