Clinical Model


Our therapeutic supports, systems and practices stem from our belief in this statement as well as our commitment to teaching students the skills necessary both academically and socially to be on this path to succeed in everyday life. In combination with our supports, systems and practices, JTC Academy provides individual and group counseling by highly qualified Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), Licensed Clinical Professional Counselors (LCPCs) and Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs) as designated in student’s IEPs while clinically defining issues and intervening through appropriate treatment planning.  

JTC Academy delivers intensive therapeutic services to youth with complex behavioral and mental health needs. Our structured milieu therapy model emphasizes safety, consistency, and pro-social engagement within a trauma-informed environment.

Treatment is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to target distorted thinking patterns and maladaptive behaviors. Adjunctive interventions such as Aggression Replacement Training (ART) and Think Trauma support a comprehensive, evidence-based continuum of care tailored to individual treatment plans.
