About Newport Academy All Genders
Newport Academy’s All-Gender program in Southern California offers highly structured residential care, with personalized treatment plans and identity-affirming care based on the specific issues patients face—whether that’s trauma, gaming or tech addiction, eating disorders, substance use, or other mental health issues. This nurturing experience creates a space for compassion, trust, and camaraderie among residents. Healing extends to families too, with family involvement and weekly family therapy.
Personalized And Family-Wide Recovery
Patients begin treatment with an assessment to properly gauge their needs and treatment requirements. From there, a personalized care team that includes counselors, nurses, a psychiatrist, and dietician continues to meet the needs of each teen. Newport Academy uses attachment-based family therapy (ABFT) to help rebuild familial relationships. Individual and group therapy connect patients to themselves and their peers, building a support network that Newport also extends to families. Newport Academy’s all-gender program provides group therapy on topics like gender dysphoria, coming-out, social acceptance, and identity.
Healing The Mind And Body
Newport Academy creates individualized treatment plans that include equine therapy, music and art, yoga, meditation, adventure therapy, and a host of evidence-based therapies. Clients in their all-gender program live in an on-campus home dedicated to their comfort. Their location in Southern California keeps teens close to nature, enhancing their care experience and privacy. Newport Academy values incorporating experiential therapies into their clients' schedules. Some adventure therapies include hiking, rock climbing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and enjoying all the nearby nature. Other holistic therapies offered at Newport Academy include yoga, meditation, music therapy, fitness, and art therapy.
On-Site Academics
Newport Academy keeps teens on track with their school, offering tutoring and individualized schooling programs. On-site teachers incorporate academic progress with therapeutic care, giving teens a safe space to learn and heal.
