Our Trauma-Informed Approach
At Portum Behavioral Health in Annandale, NJ, trauma-informed care is more than a treatment philosophy — it’s the heartbeat of our practice. We help teens and families understand that behaviors once seen as “problems” are often survival responses. Through this lens, healing becomes a process of empowerment rather than correction.
1. Safety and Trust
We provide predictable, secure environments that allow teens to lower their defenses and engage in the therapeutic process with confidence.
2. Empowerment and Choice
Adolescents are active participants in their care. We respect their autonomy, giving them a voice in their goals and treatment decisions.
3. Collaboration and Connection
Our team works in partnership with families, schools, and referring providers to ensure continuity and coordination of care.
4. Whole-Person Healing
We treat the mind, body, and emotions as interconnected. Therapy is paired with wellness practices that nurture emotional balance and resilience.
5. Compassion and Respect
We meet every client with empathy, patience, and unconditional positive regard essential ingredients for lasting transformation.

" Before coming to Portum, I really didn’t think treatment would help me. I was nervous and didn’t trust anybody, but the staff actually listened and never judged me. They helped me understand what I was going through and taught me coping skills I didn't have before. I’m leaving feeling stronger, more confident, and so hopeful about my future. I really feel like I reconnected with myself. "
