Our Services
The services provided at EWC are focused on supporting and empowering youth to safely and happily navigate digital ecoystems at
individual, community, and systems levels.
Talks & Workshops
We provide talks and workshops on topics like: understanding online harms, problematic media use, social media and youth mental health, child and adolescent identity development, and online safety.
These workshops will help equip organizations and communities with the tools that may prevent or mitigate the negative impacts of online harm and problematic media use.
Individual Therapy
We provide a safe, culturally responsive, systems-focused, and trauma-informed therapeutic space to help youth heal from their experiences online and navigate digital spaces safely and happily. We use cognitive behavioral and mindfulness based approaches that promote their overall wellness.
Therapy to help you heal and build
e-Resilience in a digital world.
We understand how culture, systems, and trauma inform youth development and mental health. So we provide individual therapy that supports the whole child, teen, and young adult. In therapy we will focus on addressing the harms caused online and work together to help each client process and cope with their emotions, while empowering them to grow their digital literacy skills and navigate digital spaces safely.
Culturally Responsive
-
We use a culturally responsive therapeutic approach that integrates cultural, ethnic, racial, and societal factors in conceptualization of psychological concerns and therapeutic treatment.
-
This approach involves cultural awareness and humility on the therapist's part, flexibility with understanding and learning each person's cultural context, tailored interventions that fit the unique needs of each individual, and advocacy around systemic societal issues that impact youth mental health.
Systems-focused
-
We utilize a systems-focused therapeutic framework that views an individual's problems within the context of their family, school, community, and digital ecosystems.
-
Through this framework we acknowledge that changes in one part of the system can impact the whole. Therefore, we focus on addressing the dynamics and interactions within systems to facilitate healing and positive change.
Trauma-informed
-
We use a trauma-informed therapeutic approach that focuses on understanding and treating trauma.
-
This approach creates a safe and supportive environment for youth who have experienced trauma due to online harm by empowering them to grow their digital literacy and make informed and safe decisions online, and by focusing on their strengths and e-Resilience as tools to hone along their healing journey.
CBT and Mindfulness
-
We use interventions from cognitive behavioral therapy that help youth to reframe unhealthy thinking patterns and deal with feelings of shame, anxiety, depression, and behavioral concerns caused by online harm.
-
We also use mindfulness techniques that help youth to develop greater awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations to improve stress and anxiety management when navigating digital terrain.
