Adolescent mental health and wellness

Designed for adolescents and teens between 12 and 17 years old, our therapeutic environment is comfortable, safe and friendly. Our program helps meet the acute-care psychiatric needs of adolescents who may be:

• In need of diagnostic treatment services usually offered in an inpatient setting
• Dangerous to themselves or others
• Struggling behaviorally or emotionally, requiring hospitalization
• Unable to provide for their own health or safety

Treatment involves a variety of services, including:

• Case management services
• Educational groups
• Experiential therapy
• Individual, group and family therapy
• Medication management
• Recreation therapy

We also help arrange appropriate services for a successful transition after discharge.

The IOP is a short-term, structured outpatient treatment program that helps your teen reach a place where they can engage and participate in regular activities. Focusing on those who need more care than is typically available in outpatient counseling, but for whom inpatient hospitalization is not needed, we emphasize improving relationships, developing methods of coping, achieving goals and managing stress and life changes.

Led by an interdisciplinary team, we use evidence-based treatment to provide your child with new tools to master practical challenges of everyday life, while effectively managing any symptoms of anxiety or depression. Additionally, we teach about the importance of boundaries, healthy communication, self-awareness and self-esteem.
