What Makes Our Approach Effective
(Even if you’ve tried therapy and other programs before!)
With us, your teen heals.
Connecting with teens means being relevant, real, and safe. Using the latest evidence-based methods, we create a place to have honest conversations, learn new coping skills, build resilience, feel a sense of belonging, and find support among other teens.
With us, you’re not alone.
Watching your teen struggle and not knowing how to help is a lonely, isolating experience. Parents and caregivers get judgment-free support from AWA and join a caring and supportive community with other families going through similar situations.
With us, you experience genuine care and kindness.
As clinicians, we’re here for the entire healing journey: the ups and downs, crises and victories, setbacks and milestones. This isn’t just a mental health practice, but a calling to help teens and their families. Here you are never alone.
Your care is
covered here
We understand that you have more pressing concerns right now, the cost of teen mental health and substance abuse treatment should not be one of them.
We are in-network with all major commercial insurance providers in Florida.
We’d like to handle the insurance details so that you can focus on what truly matters.
