About Boulder Adolescent and Teen Therapy
Our Journey
Boulder Adolescent and Teen Therapy (BAT) was founded in 2012 with a vision to become a trusted resource for parents, caregivers, and teens seeking guidance and support during the formative years of adolescence. Our journey began out of a recognized need for accessible, unbiased information on adolescent mental health, behavior, and wellness.
Over the years, we’ve grown from a simple online platform sharing articles and resources to a comprehensive news website dedicated to shedding light on various aspects of teen therapy and development. Our team is passionate about creating a space where families can navigate the complex landscape of adolescent challenges with confidence and informed decisions.
Our Purpose and Mission
BAT exists to empower parents, educators, and teens by providing accurate, reliable, and unbiased information related to adolescent therapy, mental health, and overall well-being. We strive to bridge the gap between professional services and home support systems, ensuring that young individuals receive the best care possible.
Our mission is to:
- Educate families about various therapeutic approaches and their effectiveness in treating common teen struggles.
- Facilitate open conversations about mental health by addressing taboos and promoting early intervention.
- Connect families with trusted therapists and resources within their communities.
- Foster a supportive online community where readers can share experiences, ask questions, and learn from one another.
Identifying the Need
The internet abounds with information, yet much of it is misleading or outdated. We’ve identified several key gaps in the available resources:
- Lack of Trustworthy Information: While numerous websites offer advice on adolescent issues, many lack credibility, are biased, or promote unproven methods. BAT ensures all content is backed by research and provided by licensed professionals.
- Community Support: Adolescent struggles can be isolating for both teens and parents. Our platform encourages a sense of community through reader interactions and sharing personal experiences.
- Accessible Expertise: Therapy often involves complex concepts and techniques that can be overwhelming for parents. We simplify these ideas, making expert insights accessible to all readers.
Core Values
- Accuracy: We prioritize factual information supported by evidence-based practices.
- Bias-Free: BAT maintains a neutral stance, presenting diverse perspectives without promoting specific therapies or approaches.
- Transparency: We encourage open dialogue and strive for transparency in our content creation process.
- Inclusivity: Our content caters to a wide range of families from various cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.
