Every student comes to Crossroads with a different story, different strengths, and different challenges.

That means treatment needs to be personal. Some students connect quickly, others take more time. Some respond well to traditional therapy, while others open up more naturally during a walk, an activity, or just spending time with someone they trust.

Our therapists work to understand the individual behind the behavior, build a real relationship, and help each student develop skills that actually fit his needs. The goal isn’t to force every student down the same path. It’s to help him find a path that gives him the best chance to make meaningful progress.

Work with teens is most effective when using a relationship-based approach, rather than a behavioral or punitive model. At Crossroads, we have focused on building a program driven by savvy, caring professionals who understand how to appropriately connect to teen boys to best facilitate change. This is accomplished by using evidence-based therapeutic modalities to build a connected, working relationship. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a proven model for engaging with youth, which includes things like roll with resistance, validate and reflect, ask furthering questions, avoid arguments, and practice affirmation and radical acceptance.

Our staff have been trained in conflict resolution and use deescalating language and connecting language to facilitate change and build relationships in our teen residential treatment programs.
