About The Bougainvilla House Family Therapy Center – Fort Lauderdale
Located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, The Bougainvilla House Family Therapy Center provides counseling, guidance, and support to children, teens, and young adults. They can help with substance use and other behavioral concerns, familial or relationship conflict, life transitions, anger management, learning disabilities, and mental health concerns like depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts.
By focusing their attention on clients between the ages of 4 and 26, they’ve been able to create programs that effectively address age-specific issues that kids and new adults can face. Homey and welcoming, the facilities create a safe space for healing and self-discovery.
Their outpatient group counseling sessions are open to anyone under the age of 17 who is facing mental health or substance use concerns. Under the guidance of an experienced addiction counselor, participants work together to come up with solutions for each other’s challenges. The group creates a safe space for them to vent and a supportive environment that encourages them to heal.
The team is committed to providing fun opportunities for kids and young adults to learn more about themselves and heal through different experiences. One of the workshops they ran was “Hearts and Hooves” – a day camp that gave children and teens space to interact with horses. The program used a combination of equine therapy with traditional group therapy to teach kids about relationship skills, overcoming obstacles, and mindfulness.
For those facing behavioral health issues like substance use, they offer bio bed therapy. This involves resting on a reclined chair, shaped similar to a dentist chair, and experiencing audio and visual stimulations to help you relax. This therapy can provide a lot of comfort to people going through withdrawal, those with anxiety or depression, and anyone with chronic muscle pain or fatigue.
