Cognitive behavioral therapy, often referred to as CBT, is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on making connections between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. CBT helps people identify and change dysfunctional patterns.

We help our youths and young adults identify the unhealthy behaviors and distorted beliefs that impede their success. CBT helps them confront and modify those distorted beliefs, transforming them into functional coping mechanisms that allow them to soar.

What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

We teach empathy. Many of our youths and young adults have never experienced how to process empathy. Our in-house therapists and instructors use sports, music, arts and entrepreneurship to integrate and reinforce positive and healthy social skills.

Our goal is to help youths and young adults recognize their triggers and utilize the resources available to them. We have built a curriculum that caters to the specific needs and background of the youth and partner organizations engaged with us.

Aggression Replacement Training® (ART®) is a cognitive behavioral intervention program that, as the name suggests, helps children and adolescents to better manage their anger and reduce aggressive behavior.

ART helps identify stressors, which encourages participants to deescalate tense situations in a calm, positive way. Through examining the triggers of aggression and anger, ART improves moral reasoning and social skill competence.

What is Aggression Replacement Training®?

Our approach to overcoming anger, aggression and trauma is thoroughly holistic. We incorporate family, school and community into the healing process.

Any one person cannot fully heal unless their overall environment is also healthy. Addressing symptoms and reactions to trauma is only one facet of developing healthy skills, we also address the sources of trauma, breaking generational cycles and setting the stage for success.
