Innercept your future!

Meeting other young adults that are facing similar challenges made our daughter feel that she isn’t alone, and these friendships helped her develop and improve her social skills. As a result, our daughter is a much happier confident young lady, and she is well prepared to face the world.

Thank you again to the Staff at Innercept for making the transition of placement a painless one! The staff reached out to us immediately and facilitated the process with ease, assisting at every step of the way. We needed to find an appropriate placement ASAP and Innercept worked diligently to meet all of our needs. Our experience with admissions personnel was exceptional and her dedication was truly appreciated.

Our journey has been long and painful, but the results are impressive. We are well aware that our daughter’s challenges are far from over. We are confident however, that her new skills will carry her through whatever the future may bring. Thank you to the entire Innercept team for making this transformation possible!

 

Parents of Adolescent Resident

Parents, You will now be given a chance to breathe. As a parent myself I know what it feels like to be where you are. I was afraid for my child, confused with the system and unsure of the next step to take. When my child went to Innercept I found support and caring for my child and our family. We live out of state, yet had EVERY week a phone session with our child (mom, dad and sometimes sibling). The therapist treated our family respectfully and caringly, even when our child did not. Yes we had some difficult sessions and our kid left the room, stormed out and yelled. Still we went back to it each week. It was not a smooth ride, but, I never felt alone or afraid going through it with Innercept’s help. You do deserve the chance to breathe, all of you will feel and do better for it.

The Lesson I Learned at Innercept…I am convinced that life is not so much about what happens to us, but rather how we respond to the situations and people we encounter. You may stumble, fall or even have to crawl for a while, but there will be people who will, come along to dust you off and send you on your way again. I have found that life consists of making mistakes, learning from them and striving to be your best self. We must remember that we are merely human and therefore will not always accomplish what we set out to do. This much I now know…failure is inevitable, perfection ins impossible, success is measurable, happiness is attainable and I…I am able.

 

Former Young Adult Resident

As a parent with a young person who made good progress at Innercept, and is now living independently as a young adult, I want to strongly recommend this program.  She went from a conflicted, mood disordered, dependent, and very unhappy young person, uncertain of who she was and unable to manage (in any extended way) at school or in life, to someone who is coping with difficulties in the modern world, while also seeing the value of the treatment she needs.  She is also someone who had naively made some dangerous past choices, now seen more clearly.  Of course, the life journey continues, and not every problem is fully solved.  Yet in this setting, which was caring, safe, nurturant while demanding, and socially responsible (promoting concern with relationships, community, and the broader world, not just one’s own issues), she could move from more to less restrictive levels, based on her own well-documented personal progress, while learning healthier ways to live.  She stabilized, blossomed, found and gave support, progressed in school, learned skills for getting a job, and had the space to make a few mistakes, while having the safety net to recover from them.  The clinical support was excellent, including support and communication with parents.  I feel deeply for parents whose young people are hurting and who have to make these hard choices, but this is a strong option to consider carefully.
