Lumate Health provides one-on-one therapy for teenagers and young adults (aged 12-25) who experience anxiety or OCD and related concerns. We utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment grounded in research and proven to be the most effective therapy for anxiety disorders. Our goal is to empower our clients with the tools they need to manage their anxiety both now and in the future.
Lumate Health specializes in treating youth and young adults (ages 12-25) with anxiety and related disorders. If you’re looking for treatment to address an eating disorder, trauma, substance abuse, or severe depression and associated suicidal thoughts, Lumate Health is not the right fit at this time.
Your process at Lumate Health begins with a phone call intended to understand your concerns and explore your treatment goals. If Lumate Health appears to be the right fit for you or your child, the next step is a thorough evaluation with one of our therapists. This evaluation is intended to provide you with a comprehensive diagnostic picture and tailored treatment recommendations.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a treatment designed to help individuals recognize and challenge unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. It is an evidence-based treatment supported by rigorous scientific testing and research. It is often a short-term treatment that can be delivered effectively both in-person and via telehealth.
Therapists work collaboratively with their patients to develop goals for therapy, increase awareness of thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety, and learn skills to anticipate and manage anxiety. Finally, therapists work with their clients to practice using these skills in situations where anxiety might occur. This approach fosters new thought patterns and actions that will disrupt the cycle of anxiety.
No. You do not need a referral to work with us at Lumate Health. To ensure that you receive the optimal plan to meet your goals, with your consent, we will work collaboratively with your current medical and mental health providers to ensure continuity of care.
Typically, our treatment consists of weekly one-on-one therapy sessions for about four months. It is important to note that you or, if you are a parent, your teenager will meet with the same therapist weekly to provide continuity of care. At the end of the first phase of treatment, you or, if you are a parent, your teen and your therapist will work together to decide upon the next steps, which might include individual skill work, group treatment, parent support, or additional therapy. See about treatment for a more detailed description of the intake and treatment process.
