Residential Program Supervisor at Mountain Valley Treatment Center - Plainfield, New Hampshire, US
Mountain Valley Treatment Center is a residential treatment center for adolescents and young adults ages 13-20 suffering from extreme Anxiety Disorders, OCD and OC Spectrum Disorders. We are located in the beautiful Upper Valley region of New Hampshire in a town called Plainfield, situated 20 minutes from Hanover, NH and Dartmouth College. We use evidence-based methods as well as a holistic approach to offer compassionate yet effective care for our residents. Adolescents and young adults who come to Mountain Valley are often bright, talented and "stuck". At MVTC, they learn and practice skills and coping tools to support their next steps. Our residents know that through CBT, ACT-oriented Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, they will learn to "sit with it" when they are faced with their anxiety. When they aren't in group or individual therapy, residents enjoy activity therapy sessions which include Yoga, Meditation, Expressive Arts Therapy, Adventure and a Mountain Valley favorite: Farm-to-Table module. We approach Academics as an opportunity for residents to practice and be exposed to a classroom setting in the name of skill-building, however we also offer 1:1 instruction for classes for credit.
