Location Matters

Along with weekly therapeutic services and life coaching students may attend college, work, volunteer and engage in recreational activities, fitness and hobbies.
Attachment Driven
Therapist Directed Life Coaches
Our direct care staff and clinicians are trained by WholeFit, an integrative life coaching model. It is vital that everyone at Engage is equipped with the tools and knowledge to effectively support, guide, and intervene with our clients. It's not about supervision, but about knowing when and how to coach in who they want to be versus what we think they should be.
The Model
Our residential and clinical staffing model is intentionally designed to support young adults experiencing attachment and relational distress. Creating a small therapeutic milieu directed by the client’s primary therapist better allows for deeper connections and sustained relational corrective experiences. The therapist as team leads promotes an effective navigation of close and meaningful relationships. Through Engage’s therapeutic guidance one can better experience stronger emotional connections and develop new responses to familiar relationships challenges.
Life at Engage Transitions
Young adults at Engage live independently in their own apartments. Our office is directly connected to three apartment units. Engage participants needing more direct support will reside here while others will live down the block in their downtown Cedar City apartment.
