At YPM, we specialize in supporting 13-35 year-olds and their families. The unique set of challenges faced by young people during their individuating years requires nuanced and meaningful support.
Behavioral health struggles are often outward manifestations of internal issues. This is why YPM tends to each client with the nuanced patience, care, and respect they deserve.
Our three-fold goal takes families on a journey of crisis mitigation, mentor-driven activation, and family systems recalibration.
Who We Help
The families we work with often recognize the substantial opportunities that their success can provide for their children. However, we have yet to work with a family whose children haven't experienced difficulties in at least one of the following areas:
Establishing positive routines and habits
Cultivating meaning and purpose
Learning proper independent living skills
Persistent feelings of loneliness and listlessness
Lacking motivation and follow-through
Avoiding responsibility and accountability
Abusing substances and/or self-medicating
Managing the pressures attached to privilege
Maintaining safe usage of screens and digital content
Distinguishing between net-worth and self-worth
Navigating peer-pressure and temptation
Mitigating body dysmorphia and negative self-image
Achieving academic, social, and vocational potential

What Clinicians are saying about YPM
“YPM provides a unique connection with teen clients, allowing clients to confide in a relatable person who is sensitive to their challenges and can help them navigate the risks of certain behaviors. Additionally, YPM educates parents through workshops and private meetings to help parents learn to listen, support and communicate with their teens. I only wish there had been a YPM program in place when my son went through addiction during his adolescent years. As a parent and professional, I am grateful to have YPM as a referral service in my toolbox.”

“As a psychotherapist who specializes in working with young adults; I listen to experiences of disconnection, achievement pressures, and social anxiety in a young person’s life. This is a dangerous experimentation zone; as many teens look to their peers for direction, validation and a sense of belonging. Parents are often described as intrusive and people who would not understand. Feeling understood and heard is a primary prevention measure in helping adolescents. This is where YPM has been a pivotal adjunct service to my private practice.”
