“The two most powerful words when we’re in struggle: me too.” – Brene Brown
It’s all about RELATIONSHIPS. Therapy is administered by licensed professionals and qualified staff. We provide therapeutic intervention in the following three forms:
- Family
- Individual
- Group
Family Therapy
Family therapy usually occurs over the phone or by utilizing virtual technologies, but parents are welcome to attend in person, if available. Therapists schedule weekly family therapy sessions. These sessions provide the opportunity for families to work through sensitive issues together and to support each other, prevent relapse, and plan for returning home after treatment.
Individual Therapy
Each student receives a minimum of 60 minutes of individual therapy each week. Multiple check-in may also be scheduled as needed. The goal of individual sessions is to build a relationship of trust, discuss issues, goal setting, and find personal resolution
Group Therapy
Traditional group therapy is facilitated by master’s-level therapists. Groups are held daily. Additionally, each student is assigned to specialty groups that specifically address their individual therapeutic needs. These specialty groups include, but are not limited to, the following:

Our milieu includes the Why Try Model, a program that was originally developed as a one-on-one counseling tool. The WhyTry, visual analogies – provide a relationship-focused and practical guide for discussing personal challenges and solutions to problems that youth face at home, at school, and with their peers.
Sundance Canyon employs a variety of therapeutic modalities – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Child Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Mindfulness Substance Abuse Therapy (MBSAT)
To ensure the highest level of appropriate therapeutic traction possible with individual students and their families. Traditional talk therapy has its place, but at Sundance, we know that our strength-based approach to therapy utilizes a system of relationship-based therapies that engage our students in a variety of ways.
Recreation and Service activities are used to teach life skills in areas such as relationships, communication, teamwork, self-esteem, self-awareness, accountability, and responsibility. Involving students and families in challenging and unpredictable tasks helps them think in new ways about old problems, identify what needs to be changed in their lives and relationships, and take the decisive steps to achieve more happiness and success in life.

We use only Professional and Master level therapists. Students are assessed upon admission, in order to devise the Treatment Plan that will most support the student on his path to success.
Counseling at Sundance is a collaborative approach. Therapy also involves program directors, necessary staff, and parents or guardians.
Student and parents will have to complete therapy assignments before moving on to the next therapy phase. The positive approach to youth development is not about crisis management and not about stopping or preventing problems. However, the program is about investing wisely in our youth, increasing their exposure to positive, constructive activities, and instilling values and skills that will guide them the rest of their adult lives.
Therapy will focus on External and
Internal Assets
