Maybe you’ve noticed that he’s depressed or anxious and struggling to come to grips with his illness. He may have run into trouble at school, or even with the law. And consequences don’t seem to matter—he keeps on engaging in self-destructive behaviors. Whatever’s going on, there don’t seem to be any answers.
Making it real
Causeway’s Therapeutic Mentorship program is real world stuff. It’s experience-based therapy that happens outside Causeway’s four walls. A Therapeutic Mentor will build trust with your son. The Mentor will walk him to the door as he applies for jobs, visits local schools to sign up for courses, and juggles new responsibilities. Causeway Mentors offer real-time feedback, and model habits and behaviors that help clients move through everyday challenges effectively. And the Mentor offers the broader team at the office insights that bring our services more in line with your son’s practical needs.
It’s not all hard work.
Your son will learn wellness practices, work on independent living skills, and build interpersonal abilities that lead to a healthier social life. But our approach also draws on recreation. We incorporate fun stuff like music-making, sports, weightlifting, and art creation to boost well-being and balance.
But that’s just the beginning. Causeway takes it out of the office. We walk your son through real world scenarios, so he can put what he’s learned into practice. A Causeway mentor will accompany your son into the community, in situations that create stress. The mentor acts as the eyes and ears of the treatment team. The discoveries that he and your son make together will help the team develop strategies to empower your son as he navigates future challenges.
At Causeway Collaborative, we are proud to serve young men across a range of locations. Our services are available in Westchester County, NY, as well as Fairfield County and Hartford County in Connecticut, with offices located in Westport, CT; West Hartford, CT; and White Plains, NY. Whether you’re in need of therapy, counseling, coaching, or mentorship, our experienced team is here to support your personal and professional growth. No matter where you are, we’re committed to helping you overcome challenges and move forward with confidence.
Q: What is Futures?
A: Futures is career and educational support. It focuses on meeting your son’s unique needs by supporting him as he pursues the goals and objectives he has identified for himself. The Causeway team helps your son clarify his broader plan, and then bolsters him in building the skills he needs to make that plan a reality.
Q: Can someone just do Futures as a stand-alone program?
A: Absolutely. If your son wants to focus solely on Futures, he will still need to complete the standard onboarding process with consult, intake, and feedback session(s). Then he can move forward with Futures. The only exception would be if the team identifies clinical concerns requiring therapy as part of a plan to ensure safe and effective care.
Q: How much does a life coach cost?
A: The cost of life coaching is customized based on a young man’s goals and the time needed to achieve them.
Q: Are there life coaches for young adults?
A: Yes. We provide tailored coaching services to help young adults set goals, achieve those goals, and gain confidence.
Q: Is a life coach covered by insurance?
A: Insurance usually does not cover life coaching, but we work with families to find workable solutions.
