Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)

Triumph Youth Services utilizes a Cognitive Behavioral Treatment model including Positive Peer Culture as part of its constant therapeutic milieu. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps solve problems such as dysfunctional emotions, behaviors and cognitions, through goal oriented approaches. Commonly used techniques include: having students keep a diary of significant events, associated feelings, thoughts and behaviors; questioning and testing cognitions, thinking errors, evaluations and beliefs that might be unhelpful and unrealistic; gradually facing activities which may have been avoided and implementing new ways of behaving and reacting. Relaxation, mindfulness and distraction techniques are also commonly included. We attribute our success at Triumph Youth Services to consistent programming, compassionate staff and an intensive individual and group therapy model. All aspects of the Triumph Youth Services program have been created to be therapeutic in nature. Triumph Youth Services Clinicians find that an eclectic approach works best. Specifically a combination of Evidence Based Therapy including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Is just one of the Therapies we use in treating our students.

The underlying concept behind CBT is that our thoughts and feelings play a fundamental role in our behavior. For example, a person who spends a lot of time thinking about plane crashes, runway accidents, and other air disasters may find themselves avoiding air travel. The goal of cognitive behavior therapy is to teach Students that while they cannot control every aspect of the world around them, they can take control of how they interpret and deal with things in their environment. It can be very successful. If you would like to learn more about this and other therapies we use, you may contact us here.
