What We Treat
Anxiety
Anxiety is a normal human emotion that we all feel. However, young people are increasingly developing anxiety disorders which are greatly impacting their daily lives at home and at school. We support young people with skills based group and individual work to overcome these challenges.
Depression
Depression is one of the more commonplace mental illnesses in the country, with some estimates stating that as much as 15% of youth aged 12 - 17 nationally are affected by major depression. Young people today continue to struggle with depression which can greatly impact their quality of life.
ADHD
ADHD is one of the most commonly diagnosed conditions today. It can present in a variety of ways and lead to difficulties with concentration, organization, and schoolwork for young people. Medications and behavioral therapeutic work can help young people with ADHD to improve their mood and overall functioning.
Marijuana Use
Marijuana use has been on the rise amongst young people in Massachusetts following legalization. With risk perception dropping, and the rise of vaping technology, use seems to increase in high schools and middle schools in Dedham and elsewhere. Marijuana use often leads to and exacerbates anxiety and depression.

Therapeutic approach
Group psychotherapy
All of our programs have a substantial component of group therapy. Groups of many kinds have proven to be successful in helping people change for many years. Group therapy is combined with individual and family work, and medication management, in our programs.
Family systems based treatment
When treating young people in Dedham, MA, a family systems based approach is essential to positive outcomes. When families, particularly parents, are involved in the care of their teenage children, they learn to be more effective and their children fare better.
Individual psychotherapy
Our treatment has a strong component of individual psychotherapy alongside our group programming. Our master level, licensed therapists are dedicated to helping young people and their families improve their lives.
Multiple Pathways to Recovery
Typical recovery language has too long focused on a single or right way to achieve change. What we need as a field today is a shared acknowledgment that the more tools we have to help people and families change, the better we all can do.
Holistic therapies
There is only so much talking any individual can do before they realize that part of the healing journey is to get into their body. Our programs contain a strong component of holistic work targeted at getting clients out of their heads and into their physical experience.
Mindfulness based therapy
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is a part of our program in Dedham, MA. Mindfulness based practices help people gain attention and awareness of their present moment, which is a skill anyone who wants to change needs to learn.
Adolescent IOP
Our adolescent intensive outpatient program offers teens and their parents a place for young people to go and get quality treatment while staying connected to their lives and their school. This treatment is effective at helping young people overcome mental health struggles.
Trauma Informed Care
Many people experience traumas of some kind in their lives. At New Harbor, we always seek to understand these expereinces and to help our clients integrate what they have gone through with compassionate support.
