With a focus on the whole person, CHV clinicians foster mental health every step of the way through weekly wellness groups, wellness check-ins, and individual therapy sessions.

Camp Harbor View’s clinical support is unique. Here’s why:

  • 100% free of charge. No insurance. No fee for services.
  • No time limits or diagnostic requirements.
  • Youth-driven conversations in flexible settings to best meet the needs of teens.

Participant Eligibility 

All teens actively enrolled in our year-round Leadership Academy programs are eligible for group and individual therapy with our Clinical Team. Unfortunately, we do not have the capacity to offer counseling services for program alumni, siblings, parents, or other community members. For camper wellness support, please visit our summer camp program details.

Innovating the therapy experience

At the Leadership Academy, therapy embraces personalization rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Innovative exercises breathe new life into therapy, empowering young individuals to navigate their emotions and behaviors while developing into confident, productive, and compassionate people. Clinicians engage with participants through diverse methods and settings, whether that involves creative expression through art or meaningful discussions during a game of chess.

Taking an individualized approach

The CHV Clinical team uses a multi-tiered system of support to meet young leaders’ mental health needs and social emotional development with varied and individualized interventions. Engaging in a strength-based approach, clinicians work directly with teens to identify and set goals, build trust, and reach milestones.
