History

Established in 2006.

Yellowbrick has established a clinical philosophy and treatment model, which integrates psycho-​neurobiology, developmental psychology and in-​depth psychotherapy.

Psycho-​neurobiology focuses on the process of relationships and subsequent development of self-​regulation functions. These experiences affect the structural patterning within the brain throughout life. These patterns become organizers for basic survival functions such as the experience of safety, attachment patterns and the capacity to manage emotional life with a balance of initiative, risk assessment and restraint.

Yellowbrick recognizes and addresses the unique challenges of the emerging adult population through programs that emphasize multi-​specialty evaluation, therapeutic residences, research-​based strategies and life-​skills interventions.
