Addressing concerns early to prevent them from growing larger in the future

Youth & Family Therapy

YSB counseling services are designed for helping young people who may be experiencing challenges in their lives.

Parents or Caregivers are also involved in the counseling sessions, and they receive support and encouragement along the way.

During sessions youth and families will develop practical strategies to help resolve immediate problems and to help prevent future ones. To do this, we work with you to build on individual and family strengths, and we may ask to help coordinate services with others.

We offer both in-person and telehealth services to better meet your needs.

"YSB has been an invaluable partner in helping us address significant issues related to chemical use among students. Research studies show that risk, harm, and death from illicit substances among youth are rising. Partnering with YSB gives our school both proactive and reactive measures to address chemical issues with our students and is a vital component of how we provide a measure of safety to our students in today's challenging world."

"The needs of our students grow more complex every day; trauma, social media addiction, anxiety, depression, chemical use, risky behaviors. Schools are challenged to meet these ongoing needs with limited resources. YSB partners with us and provides the resources to support our students and families in the Stillwater Area community".

“For years, I have been an advocate of the notion that “it takes a village” to raise confident & capable youth. YSB is one of those partners in the village of our community that offer services our youth and families need to navigate the challenges of life. We are fortunate to have dedicated staff from YSB to meet people in our community where they are and to help them get to where they want to be.”
