What We Offer

Our services are built on the belief that the most effective healing happens when the individual is at the forefront, and the whole family is supported around them

  • The Searchlight Intensive is a distinctive program that places a full care team around a teen or young adult and their family. It combines the structure of a comprehensive treatment program with the flexibility to accommodate everyday life. School, work, friendships, and home routines remain intact while the individual receives a high level of personalized, evidence-based care tailored to their needs.

    The Searchlight Intensive Program includes:

    • Multiple weekly Individual Therapy Sessions to support ongoing progress and stability

    • Weekly Parent Coaching sessions to build skills and strengthen family support

    • Multiple sessions and touchpoints with a Recovery Coach throughout the week for consistent encouragement and accountability

    • Regular toxicology screening to monitor safety and treatment effectiveness

  • We utilize a personalized, one-on-one counseling process that supports teens and young adults as they navigate substance use challenges, gambling behaviors, life transitions, emotional challenges, trauma, identity development, and mental health concerns. This therapy provides a safe, confidential space to explore thoughts and feelings, build coping skills, and foster resilience, with a focus on age-appropriate approaches that respect each individual's unique experiences and goals.

  • Recovery doesn't happen in isolation, it happens in connection. At Searchlight Therapy, our groups offer a space where adolescents and young adults can be honest about what they're facing and discover they're not the only ones facing it.

    Our groups are intentionally designed: gender-specific and organized by age and stage of life, so members can speak freely among peers who genuinely understand where they are. Whether someone is questioning their relationship with substances, working to sustain recovery, or navigating the newer terrain of gambling and financial risk-taking, there's a group that meets them there.

  • We understand how substance use and co-occurring mental health struggles can deeply impact the entire family. Our family therapy services offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where parents, siblings, and loved ones can come together to heal, rebuild trust, and develop healthier ways of communicating. Our experienced therapists specialize in working with families of adolescents and young adults, helping them navigate the complex dynamics of recovery. Through education, practical strategies, and compassionate guidance, we empower families to set boundaries, address underlying issues, and support their loved one’s journey toward lasting wellness—while also prioritizing their own well-being.

  • We specialize in helping parents who have an adolescent or young adult who is navigating a substance use and/or mental health crisis with psychoeducation, resources, communication, boundary formulation, and self-care practices. All interventions are presented in an effort to rebuild the family system, create an environment for your loved one to be successful, and address your own process and needs so you can continue to show up the way you want to.

  • Recovery is rarely a straight line, and the space between sessions is often where the real work happens. Recovery coaching offers that ongoing, in-the-moment support by providing a steady presence for clients building a life in recovery, navigating early sobriety, or working to rebuild structure, accountability, and confidence day to day.

    Our recovery coaches works alongside clients to set meaningful goals, develop healthy routines, strengthen coping skills, and stay connected to the people and resources that keep recovery on track.

Our Process

Plan with Purpose

Together we map out a thoughtful, individualized plan. One that meets you where you are and draws on proven clinical approaches to move you forward.

Collaborate Openly

You're never on the outside looking in. We make decisions together and keep communication open throughout, so the process always feels clear and shared.

Coordinate Care

The people supporting you should be working together, not in separate corners. With your permission, we stay in close contact with your outside providers so your care feels seamless and everyone's on the same page.

In Your Corner

You don't have to do this by yourself. We're in it with you every step of the way, offering steady support, genuine partnership, and a team that believes in where you're headed.

Community Partnerships

We have partnered with The Maze NYC, New York City's first alcohol-free members club. Located in Flatiron, The Maze is a 4,600-square-foot members club centered around connection, hospitality, wellness, and culture. Designed for people who are sober, sober-curious, or simply looking for social experiences that do not revolve around alcohol or other substances, The Maze brings together dining, events, programming, and community in an intentionally alcohol-free environment.

Through the collaboration, clients of Searchlight Therapy will receive preferred membership pricing at The Maze, creating an additional pathway for meaningful social engagement, connection, and community beyond the therapy setting.
