For any teenager, high school can be a challenging period of life. It’s a time for self-discovery, creating new experiences and encountering new feelings—which can be especially trying if your child has difficulty regulating her emotions. If your high school-aged daughter has strong, unexplainable emotions, severe depression and might be at risk for self-harm, Rogers Nashotah Program may be the right place for her.
For motivated high school girls up to age 18, this program can address severe:
At the Nashotah Program, your child is immersed in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to effectively reduce your child’s symptoms. With these skills, your daughter can improve her personal safety, relationships, self-esteem, quality of life and resilience — all within our validating environment, where she is safe to explore change, express her genuine emotions and learn to accept her thoughts and feelings.
Nashotah is a female name for “twin” in the Potawatomi Native American language. Your daughter may struggle with dual, conflicting thoughts, both of which she values. With our focus on DBT, we help your daughter accept she’s doing the best she can, while acknowledging she still can try harder and make healthy changes. Open since 2014, our outcomes are demonstrating the impact of our evidence-based approach to care.
At Rogers, we understand if you are considering the Nashotah Program, your daughter needs the intensive level of care only available in a residential setting. While here, your daughter will live on campus at Rogers’ Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, location, in a comfortable, homelike setting.
In this level of care, we can reduce your daughter’s safety risks associated with her emotional dysregulation and work with her to gain skills and knowledge that will help lessen her risk of developing depression, personality disorders and other more severe symptoms later in life. A typical stay lasts 60 to 90 days.
In addition to medical management, your daughter will receive 30 hours per week of skills training, group therapy, DBT-based experiential therapy and more within an individualized treatment plan.
Led by a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist, your child’s dedicated team of professionals are trained in the Linehan Institute’s model of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). In conjunction with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and behavioral activation (BA), these DBT skills serve as a foundation of care. Here you will build distress tolerance, improve emotional regulation, maintain safety, and learn non-judgmental personal acceptance and mindfulness in managing life’s challenges. Other elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, including prolonged exposure, may be part of your individualized treatment plan.
Here’s what an average weekday in the Nashotah program is like:
At the Nashotah Program, staff members work closely together using a strengths-based, DBT-informed approach, which gives your daughter accountability for making real change in her life. Her experienced, multidisciplinary team is ready to offer her the guidance she’s looking for.
The entire clinical team is engaged in ongoing training in DBT therapy by Behavioral Tech, LLC, an internationally recognized training organization under the direction of Dr. Marsha Linehan, PhD. Staff participate in a weekly DBT consultation group, which ensures your child receives effective and compassionate care throughout her treatment stay.
