At Lumate Health we provide one-on-one, high-quality treatment with expert-trained therapists for teenagers and young adults (aged 12-25) who are struggling with anxiety. We utilize the gold standard of evidence-based approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to meet the growing need for effective treatments for youth struggling with anxiety. Our goal is to empower our clients with the tools necessary to face the underlying source(s) of their anxiety.
Lumate Health specializes in treating youth and young adults (ages 12-25) with anxiety and related disorders. If you or your teenager are primarily struggling with depression, eating disorders, trauma, or suicidal thoughts, Lumate Health is not the right fit.
Anxiety can lead to multiple possible complications. The initial steps into this journey will consist of a screening phone call, followed by an evaluation with one of our therapists. Evaluations usually last for 90 minutes and will assess your needs. We will discuss the results of the evaluation with you to determine options and the best course of action.
Based on the clinical team’s availability and your location, you may be able to change therapists. The Clinical team will work with you to make sure that the best plan is enacted.
CBT therapists help individuals learn how to recognize and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and habits of self-defeating or negative behavior and to accept and better manage the range of emotions that occur in daily life. Therapists work collaboratively with the patient to develop goals for therapy, establish hope, and assist the patient in harnessing their internal efforts and resources to make positive changes in their mental and physical health and wellness. Teens and young adults learn skills that can be life-affirming as well as life-saving for many who struggle with anxiety and related disorders. CBT is an evidence-based treatment supported by decades of scientific testing and research. It is often a short-term treatment and can be effectively delivered via telehealth.
Our hours of operation are from 9 AM to 7 PM Monday through Thursday and from 9 AM to 6 PM Friday (EST). Individual clinicians may, at their discretion, make themselves available outside of these times.
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.
