Our effective therapeutic program focuses on three pillars of change. These pillars include:
- Relationship Based Approach: We believe that helping girls and assigned female at birth establish positive relationships with peers, mentors, and family members is key to their success. The nurturing therapeutic culture on campus helps promote the development of healthy relationships.
- Principle Driven: At Solstice, we help girls and assigned female at birth develop their own principles which guide them towards positive change. Instead of using compliance or fear of punishment, we help reshape the values of girls and assigned female at birth from the inside out.
- Experiential Activities: While we do plenty of talk therapy at Solstice, we emphasize important therapeutic principles and ideas through therapeutic activities known as experiential therapy. Equine therapy, experiential groups, recreation, adventure therapy, community service activities and other interventions are used to teach and reinforce important ideas that contribute to the growth and healing process.
Solstice is privately owned and operated by a team of people who have dedicated their lives to the success of teens and their families. We believe having owners in the program on campus with the students creates a more powerful, effective, and personal experience.
