Hippocrates understood something crucial about neuroplasticity over two millennia ago;

Yellowbrick embraces this principle by offering repetitive experiences for learning and practicing new skills and adaptive patterns in situ while living in the community.

Yellowbrick has created a treatment center that is based upon inter-disciplinary research and the clinical wisdom of experienced clinical scholars. The pillars of the model include:

1. Immersion in an Open Therapeutic Community of sober, age-related peers engaged in Real-Time Treatment rather than as-if institutional compliance.
2. Synchrony Brain Health offering neuromodulation technologies such as dTMS, neurofeedback. Mindfulness self-regulation training, etc. in collaboration with Yellowbrick.
3. In-depth individual and group psychotherapies guided by principles of interpersonal neurobiology provided by senior doctoral level professionals.
4. Core Competence Skills Development: executive functioning, life skills, education & career skill development for facilitating the experience of true competence; Staff continues with the patient and family through all levels of care.
5. Intensive, multidimensional, developmentally attuned Family Model.

Yellowbrick has evolved its theoretical approach to assessment and treatment within the framework of developmental, interpersonal neurobiology. The model is founded on state-of-the-art integration of current research and scholarship in the areas of evolutionary biology, neuroscience, developmental psychology, the full range of cognitive-behavioral & interpersonal (neuro-psychoanalytic) psychotherapies, and executive functioning/life-skills approaches in treatment.

The desired developmental outcomes of treatment with emerging adults are:

• Connected and coherent self,
• Resilience and effective self-regulation of emotion and behavior,
• Interpersonal effectiveness across a range of intimacy; build a support system,
• Resetting and maturation of motivation and reward systems,
• Effective self-care & wellness, executive function, and life-skills,
• Renegotiate relationship with family towards connected autonomy.
