We integrate the therapeutic process with every aspect of our
school. The therapeutic relationship is a special one in which trust
elicits open dialog and safety for the exploration of the deepest
thoughts and feelings your child has. Our main modality is group and
community therapy. It is innovative and promotes real change that
happens inside and out.
Daily groups or therapy sessions give students the opportunity to
discuss problems, learn how to handle conflict, and to explore new
and better ways to process their feelings. Once these tools are
acquired and internalized, the class-room, the dormitory, the dining
room, and the gymnasium become living laboratories for practicing
these skills.
Sarasota Community School also offers opportunities for meditation and
other relaxing therapies,
to develop the spirit and the soul.
Our staff psychiatrist performs an initial evaluation, reviews
psychotropic medications, and will consults with other past mental health
professionals when necessary.
