About

Our Approach

At Newport Academy, our integrated approach to teen mental health is founded in compassion and driven by outcomes. Our philosophy of care recognizes teen behavioral issues, such as substance abuse, eating disorders, self-harm, and other co-occurring disorders, as symptoms of underlying mental health challenges—trauma, depression, and/or anxiety. To support our teens and their families in achieving long-term, sustainable healing from these issues, we address the root causes through comprehensive and solutions-focused treatment that involves the entire family in the healing process. Our mission to empower teens and restore families takes into account every aspect of a teen’s well-being—physical, psychological, social, familial, educational, and spiritual— so they can thrive when they return home to their families, schools, and communities. To ensure that our care is truly evidence-based, we track a variety of treatment goals and commission rigorous third-party evaluations of our programming. Data on our outcomes shows consistent positive results in measures of well-being, depression, and anxiety, with patients’ improvements, on average, exceeding levels of clinical significance.

Our Experts

We have assembled the best mental health leaders and rehab team in the country to serve as the foundation for our unparalleled teen treatment centers. Newport Academy boasts a robust and growing roster of experts from all over the world, with a wide range of degrees and experience. Our skilled clinicians and experiential therapists are innovative professionals who provide a truly comprehensive, cutting-edge approach to individualized teen treatment. Our doctors and psychiatrists are recognized experts in the field who see each patient not as a collection of symptoms but as a bright and beautiful individual. In our educational programs, academic experts provide personalized programs and tutoring tailored toward each teen’s strengths and interests. Our team in Connecticut includes psychiatrists, psychologists, family therapists, eating disorder therapists, nurse practitioners, counselors, equine therapists, art therapists, music therapists, adventure therapists, registered dietitians, nutritionists, teachers, and private tutors, with a wide range of degrees and experience.

What Makes Us Different?

Rather than simply addressing symptoms and behaviors, Newport’s clinical model achieves sustainable healing by treating the underlying trauma and attachment wounds that manifest as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and co-occurring issues such as substance abuse, self-harm, and eating disorders. We use a documented and outcomes-validated treatment model with standardized protocols, session goals, and group curriculum. In addition, we recognize that family involvement is key, and our model shifts the focus from the patient as the “problem” to the family as the solution. Our philosophy of care builds secure attachment for clients to safely be vulnerable, to explore interests, discover passions, and gain meaning, purpose, and insight to replace high-risk behaviors.
