WHO WE HELP
Beam is for teens and young adults in need of a safe and comfortable space to learn about themselves, face fears, increase confidence, and strengthen relationships.
HOW IT WORKS
Beam is a multi-week program with individual or group interaction options. Parent involvement can be included for relationship building. The time will be spent on a series of questionnaires, exercises, journaling, self-reflection and discussions.
We will engage the teens and young adults on their preferences, how the time is structured and what works for them — all with the goal of self-empowerment in mind.
Why it Works
Our team of professionals including Occupational Therapists and Psychotherapists have developed this program with the whole person in mind. We look at social, emotional and developmental challenges and work with our clients to strengthen emotional regulation and relationship.
Our assessments, activities and tools support navigating the difficulties of this essential time period in a non-judgmental and interactive way.

We Can Help
A Multidisciplinary Approach
Beam employs a multidisciplinary approach that combines occupational therapy with traditional and innovative social teaching tools. Building on the work of Dr. Dan Seigel, Brene Brown Ph.D., MSW, Shefali Tsbary, Ph.D., Becky Bailey, Ph.D., and Dr. Gabor Maté, we are able to look at each individual profile through a developmental lens.
Our team then looks at the biological, psychological, and social-environmental aspects that could be impacting the adolescent or young adult’s ability to thrive. This information alongside our therapists’ insights allow us to personalize the multi-week Beam program to individual needs.
