Clinical treatment focuses on a modified version of Dialectical Behavior Therapy designed for adolescent females struggling with significant emotional dysregulation, behavior issues, and mental health issues. These adolescents often face challenges in school, difficulties living successfully at home, and difficult developing relationships with peers. Walden Street School believes that through productive relationships and individualized treatment, young women can be empowered to create growth and lasting change within themselves. Internally, Walden provides a safe, nurturing, strengths-based environment in which girls can live and learn from and with each other. Walden extends its students' experiences to the larger community as well; Walden students are encouraged to take the skills they learn on-site into the greater community through a number of off-site leisure activities, sports leagues, internships, and volunteer and work opportunities, all of which are supervised and supported by the Walden team.
