Who we serve
Young adults.
Late teens through twenties, working or in school, and old enough that nobody is arranging your care for you anymore. For most people this is the first time organizing treatment themselves, and the system does not make it obvious.
Why this age is the hard one.
Two things collide in your twenties. Serious mental health conditions commonly appear for the first time in this window, and it is also the point where whatever structure used to catch you — a school counselor, a parent who made the calls, a pediatrician who knew you — has quietly ended.
On top of that, this is the age with the least slack. A first job, unstable hours, rent that assumes those hours, and possibly a plan to leave the islands for work or school. Weekly therapy is hard to sustain against that, and a program that requires you to stop working is not a real option.
What makes this workable at your age.
- Evening groups, so it fits around a job or a class schedule
- By video, so a move between islands does not end your treatment
- A group of adults working real things, not a lecture and a worksheet
- Family sessions only if and when you want them — you are the client, not your parents
One thing worth knowing about confidentiality.
If you are an adult, your care is yours. Your parents do not get access to your records because they are your parents, and family sessions happen at your invitation and your pace rather than by default.
That matters in both directions. Some people want family involved and assume they are not allowed to ask; others assume involvement is mandatory and stay away because of it. Both assumptions are wrong, and either way it is your call.
Questions
Straight answers.
Will my parents find out I am doing this?
Not from us. If you are an adult, your clinical information is yours, and family involvement happens only if you choose it. If you are on a parent’s insurance plan, ask us what appears on plan paperwork — that is a fair and common question and you deserve a specific answer rather than a reassurance.
I might move to the mainland for work or school. Should I even start?
Raise it at intake so it goes into the plan. Care delivered by video travels better than in-person care does, and there are real licensing considerations depending on where you land — which is a reason to talk about it up front, not a reason to postpone treatment for a move that may be months away.
Is everyone in the group going to be much older than me?
Groups are adults of a range of ages working the same clinical material. What people report mattering is not age but whether the room is honest. If a group is genuinely a bad fit, tell your clinician and we handle it.
Nobody is going to arrange this for you.
Which is the hard part of being this age. One call is the whole first step, and someone else takes the next several.
