Everyone needs a little help sometimes.

YPM serves adolescents, young adults, and their families struggling to balance mental health, social temptations, and peace of mind.

YPM specializes in caring for adolescents and young adults. The conditions we treat often co-occur with trauma, including depression, anxiety, substance use disorder, lack of accountability, dysregulated executive functioning, and other maladaptive behaviors.

How YPM works.

  • Connect.

    We invite you to schedule a complimentary phone consultation. Depending on the issues for which you and your family seek help, YPM will recommend various approaches to support transformation and growth.

    Your input will help determine which YPM mentor and team of experts is the best match for your needs.

    YPM places mentors with mentees based on various factors, including gender, sexual identity, commonality of interest, relatability, and location.

  • Meet.

    YPM meets with mentees at a judgment-free, shame-free welcome session to understand the issues from his/her/their point of view and begin building solidarity and trust.

    Sometimes (often), we hear, “nothing is wrong. I just hate my parents. They are so uptight.”

    Our response: “Tell me more.”

    YPM’s model works because our mentors have been where their mentees are. Carefully chosen for their relatability and empathy, YPM mentors build respectful, effective, transformational relationships with their mentees from day one.

  • Embark.

    Sessions are weekly, bi-weekly, or daily, depending on the needs of each client and situation. YPM also offers live-in mentoring and companionship, both proven to be successful launch ramps for adolescents.

    The family is involved every step of the way.

    While zoom sessions are available, YPM has found that in-person mentoring yields a stronger connection and more sustainable results.
