This Continuing Education Unit (CEU) presentation explores experiential therapy as an
effective treatment modality for adolescents in residential treatment settings. Experiential
therapy, often referred to as “action-oriented” therapy, has emerged as a valuable approach in
treating adolescents facing various mental health challenges. Unlike traditional talk therapy,
experiential therapy engages adolescents in hands-on activities and experiences to explore
and address their emotions, behaviors and relationships. Experiential therapy offers numerous
benefits for adolescents, including enhanced emotional expression, improved interpersonal
skills, increased self-esteem and opportunities for personal growth.

- Identify the benefits of residential treatment for adolescents.
- Identify successful treatment modalities in adolescent residential care settings
