Finding Strength and Hope Through Behavioral Health Support
After a suicide attempt and inpatient treatment, a young woman began receiving behavioral health services at Young House. Through therapy, she has worked on recognizing her self-worth, establishing healthy boundaries, and developing skills to better manage difficult emotions and relationships.
She has learned and practiced Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and connected with Young House’s Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner for medication management, creating a more comprehensive approach to her mental health and well-being.
As she has progressed, she has experienced meaningful personal growth and increased confidence in her ability to manage challenges. Her positive experience with Young House has been so impactful that she has encouraged several others to seek services here.
Her journey demonstrates the power of compassionate, accessible behavioral health care to help individuals move from crisis toward hope, stability, and a stronger sense of self.
A Family Finds the Care That Helps Their Children Thrive
Ezra and Aviana Kohn have made significant progress through the coordinated care provided by Young House Behavioral Health. After briefly transferring to another provider, their family chose to return, feeling their children’s needs were better supported through the combination of medication management, therapy, and BHIS services.
Their mother reports improved attention, behavior, and emotional regulation at both home and school. She also values the collaborative approach of the Young House team, sharing that the family feels heard, respected, and actively involved in treatment planning.
As their mother put it, “The few weeks they were gone from YHBH was a few weeks too long.” Today, both children are doing well and continue to benefit from coordinated behavioral health services.
Their story demonstrates the powerful impact that integrated, family-centered care can have on helping children—and their families—thrive.

Building Confidence Through Connection
A teenager who has struggled with self-esteem and relationships receives support both at school and in the office. He especially enjoys being active and engaging in activities such as basketball and ping pong while talking with his provider. These activities have helped create a comfortable environment for building trust and communication. Over time, he has made meaningful progress in how he views himself and is developing greater confidence and self-esteem.
Overcoming Anxiety and Finding Independence
A young adult experiencing severe anxiety and fear was once significantly limited by his symptoms and struggled to cope with everyday challenges. With ongoing support, he has gradually developed greater confidence and effective coping skills. A significant milestone came when he recently traveled out of state on his own, something he was able to accomplish despite the fears that had previously held him back. His progress demonstrates the impact of persistence, support, and a willingness to face challenges.
Helping a Young Teen Cope With Loss
Following the recent death of his father, a young teen began experiencing significant anger and defiance, including behaviors that resulted in property damage and injuries to himself and others.

After reducing his use of social media, his behaviors improved significantly, and he has had no further incidents. This progress highlights the importance of identifying triggers and finding healthy strategies to cope with grief and difficult emotions.
