New Directions is a state of the art multidisciplinary clinical program for typical young adults and young adults with special needs. We provide the tools to enable independent living for young adults, often other methods of treatment don’t provide practical resources to facilitate young adult transitional living into an independent lifestyle. New Directions understands that your young adult needs to practice the life skills they are learning in the real world, for them to have a truly lasting benefit. Our program integrates expertise in cognitive behavioral therapy, developmental theory, and neuropsychology, into an evidenced-based treatment approach.
Our goal is to help all young adults achieve the goal of independent living. During the Covid-19 pandemic our independent living programs for young adults are utilizing internet counseling, and we are still providing assisted living for young adults. After the pandemic ends we will resume our regular face to face counseling. We understand that when parents search for “Independent living programs for young adults near me” they are looking for a safe learning environment, that will help their loved ones achieve independence.
New Directions understands that the process of finding the perfect program can be overwhelming, and we are happy to provide any information you may need in your decision making process. Give New Directions a call today to learn how we can help your young adult transition in to independence.
