Our Approach
Mental health care for young people should be as dynamic and individual as they are. Our approach meets teens and young adults where they are, honoring their unique journeys and developmental needs. We provide a welcoming space to feel heard, connect with peers, and explore who they are, all while building confidence and the skills to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and support.
How We Work
We believe that therapy should reflect the complexity and individuality of each young person. That’s why we tailor treatment to meet each client’s unique needs, drawing from a blend of evidence-based and insight-oriented approaches. Our work is grounded in connection, curiosity, and clinical expertise, incorporating:
ACT, CBT, and DBT-Informed Techniques
We teach practical, research-backed strategies to help youth manage distress, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and stay grounded during moments of emotional overwhelm.Psychodynamic Therapy
We create space for teens and young adults to explore their inner world—making sense of emotions, early relationships, and recurring patterns to build deeper self-understanding.Neurobiologically-Informed Approaches
By helping clients understand the brain-body connection, we support emotional regulation, resilience, and long-term well-being through a lens of neuroscience and safety.Family Systems Therapy
We work with families to improve communication, address relational patterns, and strengthen the support system surrounding the adolescent.Integrative Support with a Focus on Nutrition
We recognize the essential role of physical wellness—including sleep, movement, and nutrition—in supporting mental health, and integrate this knowledge into care when relevant.
At Kincove, we also honor the central role of the family. While we prioritize teen and young adult autonomy in therapy, we believe they do best when supported by strong, healthy relationships with caregivers. That’s why our process includes a parent-only intake session, regular parent check-ins every 4–6 weeks (or more frequently as needed), and ongoing collaboration. We strive to balance the growing independence of adolescence with the reality that teens still need connection, structure, and guidance from the adults in their lives.
