Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy For Teens in California

Navigating adolescence comes with unique challenges that can impact mental health. At Hillside Horizon for Teens, we emphasize the importance of teen mindfulness therapy, blending Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) with traditional cognitive strategies. This piece highlights how our tailored teen mindfulness therapy approach supports teenagers in building emotional resilience, offering a pathway to greater clarity and well-being during these formative years.

What is Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy?

(MBCT) Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy offers a compassionate blend of traditional cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. This therapeutic method is grounded in research and designed to halt the cycle of recurring depressive episodes. By fostering an attitude of non-judgmental awareness towards thoughts and emotions, MBCT guides individuals to gently observe their mental processes without getting caught up in them, thus nurturing a more positive engagement with their inner experiences.
