Child, Adolescent and Family therapy
At Ryther, your child or teen will be matched with one of our child and family therapists based on age, temperament and the specific challenge he or she is facing – from depression, anxiety, ADHD/ADD, substance abuse disorders, learning differences, bullying, low self-esteem, suicide ideation, self-harm, adjustment issues and autism spectrum disorders. While the child or teen is our client, we can provide family therapy, too.
Ryther’s solutions employ therapies that have been proven effective in clinical settings. These “evidence-based” therapies at Ryther include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): We help clients understand the connections and dynamics between thinking, feeling and behavior.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy+ is for specific issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and parenting.
Motivational Interviewing: We help clients discover their own reasons to make a positive and lasting change in their lives.
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT): We help rebuild the bond between children ages 13-18 and parents and teach parents new, more effective parenting skills that are especially effective with harder to raise children.
DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) Skills: We help clients learn new communication, interpersonal, stress tolerance and problem-solving skills.
For children, teens and young adults with Asperger's, ADHD, learning disabilities and other atypical neurological traits, Ryther’s Aspiring Youth Program teaches social skills and provides community for both children and parents.
