University of Houston Adolescent Diagnosis Assessment Prevention Treatment Center (ADAPT Center)

Our clinical research aims to develop more effective tools to identify areas of difficulty for adolescents, including difficulties with emotional intensity, family relationships, interpersonal relationships, and cognitive processes. In addition, our research also focuses on improving the evidence-based treatments for adolescents with these difficulties.

Other services offered by UH-ADAPT include a parent intervention called the Mediational Intervention for Sensitizing Caregivers (MISC) and the Family Connections Program, which is a 12-week group offering education, skills, and support for family members or loved ones of individuals with BPD.

UH-ADAPT offers three types of services for clients:

• Diagnostic/relational assessments: Adolescents and their family complete this assessment to gain a greater sense of the adolescent’s functioning across several areas, including psychological, personality, emotional, social, family, and behavioral functioning. Families are provided with a written report at the conclusion of this assessment.
• Individual therapy: Our center offers individual therapy for adolescents. Treatment for each adolescent is specifically tailored to their individual needs and strengths. Treatment provided at UH-ADAPT is evidence-based.
• Group therapy: We also offer group therapy for adolescents, which focuses on gaining a better understanding of difficulties with emotional intensity and developing skills to better manage strong emotions. Parents are encouraged to participate in a parent-focused group that runs at the same time as the adolescent-focused group.
