Rather than simply addressing symptoms and behaviors, Newport’s clinical model achieves sustainable healing by treating the underlying trauma and attachment wounds that manifest as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and co-occurring issues such as substance abuse, self-harm, and eating disorders. We use a documented and outcomes-validated treatment model with standardized protocols, session goals, and group curriculum. In addition, we recognize that family involvement is key, and our model shifts the focus from the patient as the “problem” to the family as the solution. Our philosophy of care builds secure attachment for clients to safely be vulnerable, to explore interests, discover passions, and gain meaning, purpose, and insight to replace high-risk behaviors.

I believe that family is the key to healing adolescent and young adult mental health issues. Restoring harmony and connection between parents and children is essential so that kids can turn to family for support when they are struggling.

We will uncover and heal the underlying trauma, anxiety, depression, or other mental health conditions that cause behavioral issues such as substance abuse, disordered eating, anger and aggression, and gaming and social media addictions.
