Juno House™ is based on a unified approach to treatment, utilizing a therapeutic model™ with attachment theory as the primary assessment tool.  Using interpersonal neurobiology, Juno House’s treatment approach will, in effect, re-wire the brain to overcome past self-harming behaviors such as:

• anxiety,
• depression,
• self mutilation,
• self depreciating behavior,
• obsessive compulsive disorder,
• disordered eating patterns,
• relational failures

Drawing on a wide range of scientific findings from, anthropology, communication, social psychology and developmental neuroscience, the therapists at Juno House understand the connections between our Attachment experience, and the development and function of the brain.  This approach is called “interpersonal neurobiology.”  This approach works with the young woman and invites her parents to develop a more coherent understanding of themselves and their children.  This understanding, is deepened when we can blend both subjective, personal reflections with objective scientific knowledge.

As part of a healthy relationship, parents will learn to become the ‘Emotional Coach’ for their children. Juno House provides individual and workshop training to parents in the ‘Emotional Focused Family Therapy’ model.  Parents learn to recognize and tolerate their own emotions and to become their child’s emotional coach — a crucial and essential skill of emotional self regulation.
