Programs
When children are removed from abusive and negligent families and/or circumstances, they should be protected from further infractions. Additionally, as foster care can be a safe haven for some, on the second hand, it can be heartbreaking for others. Too many kids live in dangerous situations or languish in institutions, and are shuffled between multiple homes or torn from siblings. Embracing Destiny Foundation is a full service residential treatment center that provides its residents the best chances for success through enhanced therapy and most of all caring and concerned administrators, managers, supervisors and staff workers. We teach the elements of compassion and empathy to all of our kids and the reciprocation of love one to another, inclusive of our new comers.

At Some Of Our Programs
Residential Treatment Center
Embracing Destiny Residential Treatment Center offers hope and healing for youth ages 7 to 24. We provides intensive, residential treatment to youth in a comfortable setting that is conducive to healing. Our facility specializes in treating children and adolescents with depression, bipolar, ADHD, and other mental health issues. We even have specific treatment programs for those with intellectual disabilities or those with self-injurious behavior.
Step-Down Program
Embracing Destiny’s Step-Down Program is a premier residential program for young adults age 7-24. The Program serves a wide range of psychiatric and psychological diagnoses including personality, eating, post traumatic and mood disorders, as well as those who are dually diagnosed with substance abuse in partial remission. Our therapeutic approach is based on the belief that beneath each person’s sadness, anger, pain and stress lies an injured self that lacks the foundation of trust necessary for building healthy relationships. Our relational treatment model addresses injuries with both nurturance and structure to reactivate each person’s ability to grow in a meaningful way. The Step-Down Program offers a comprehensive treatment program which supports individuals in an intensive treatment process that works to restore themselves and their relationships.
General Residential Operation
Embracing Destiny’s General Residential Operation Centers utilizes a relationship-based treatment model, with evidence-based practice at its core. Its treatment philosophy promotes progress by teaching residents how to develop age-appropriate interpersonal skills that contribute to overall social-emotional, behavioral, and academic improvement. A safe, containing and caring environment focuses on positive ways to engage in relationships. The program is designed to support adolescents by recognizing, rewarding and building upon their strengths while helping them control and eliminate negative behaviors that interfere with learning and leading healthy, productive and satisfying lives.
Transitional Living Center
Embracing Destiny’s Transitional Living Center provides continued treatment and residential accommodations for adolescents who have aged out of the foster care system. This program targets job readiness, secondary educational advancement and social and life skills to assist residents in beginning adulthood with success.
Individual/Group Therapy
A resident needs encouragement to participate in individual therapy, group therapy, milieu activities, taking advantage of the opportunity for self-exploration, and self-responsibility in their daily living skills. Each child admitted into Embracing Destiny Foundation will receive a minimum of one hour of individual therapy per week with the therapist and each resident will participate in a minimum of one (1) hour of group therapy per week with the therapist.
Family Therapy
Whenever possible, our goal for each child is to transition the child back into the home or into a less restrictive environment. Embracing Destiny Foundation is committed to providing family therapy to the families of as many clients as opportunity presents itself. We will provide family transportation to the facility or will travel to the family home to accomplish therapeutic goals. Our family counselors desire to improve the quality of family life through nurturing and supportive therapy.
We recognize that there are many transitions in the family life cycle that create challenges. Together, we look at the ways families can get stuck and experience distress during these times or transition. We see the family as a whole. Counseling helps to create a healthy hierarchy where the parents are united with the child/children in their parenting approach, thus to provide consistent rules and expectations for children to follow.
