Our Standards and Values

At Red Hawk we utilize a wide range of therapy to help our girls make change in the ways that are best for them.

Though we treat other issues, a majority of the students in our intense program are here as a result of experiencing or being diagnosed with ADHD, Oppositional defiance (ODD), Depression, Anxiety, Adoption-related issues or Trauma (PTSD) from childhood physical, mental or sexual abuse or tragedy.

Some of our therapies include:

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is utilized for young women who have difficulty with emotional regulation.

Equine Assisted Therapy in the Eagala Model is a powerful treatment option to treat numerous issues. This is a solution focused approach and can often be effective where other therapies have not worked.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is utilized as a traditional method to recognize thinking errors and dysfunctional styles of thinking. It can enhance positivity and help elevate moods. We also involve many experiential therapy approaches where young women are able to be “hands on” in their treatment.

Recreational Therapy is also an integral component of treatment. Young women take part in horseback riding, sports activities, ropes courses, gardening, hiking, swimming, and exercise. All therapy is designed specific to each young woman’s individual needs to help her build the tools she needs for successful change.
