Adolescent Day Treatment

Accessing mental health services can be difficult due to various barriers that may prevent individuals from obtaining necessary care. In many cases, weekly or biweekly individual counseling may not sufficiently address a teen's mental health needs. While it can be daunting to consider, group therapy is often a highly effective treatment option for many people.

We are committed to supporting our community by offering tailored assistance to teens facing mental health challenges. Our Adolescent Day Treatment program provides an intensive, short-term approach designed for progress through frequent engagement and support.

Program designed to provide additional, intensive counseling in a structured setting beyond what is provided in weekly outpatient visits.

Step-down option for adolescents who are being discharged from an inpatient facility or a residential program.

Our Day Treatment program can also be a valuable resource to help prevent the need for more intensive care or hospitalization.

This program is designed for adolescents facing:

  • Persistent depression or anxiety that disrupts daily life

  • Perfectionism and overwhelming feelings that lead to distress

  • Experiences of bullying, whether historical or current

  • Social challenges or issues with friendships

  • Truancy or avoidance of in-person schooling, including those exclusively attending online classes due to anxiety about being in a traditional school setting

  • Displacing their emotions onto others at home, school, or in the community

  • The aftereffects of significant trauma, such as family conflict, loss, abuse, or assault

  • Self-harm behaviors, substance use issues, or eating behavior concerns

  • Transitioning from residential treatment, hospitalization, or partial hospitalization

If you are uncertain whether this level of support is suitable for a teen, we encourage you to contact our staff to discuss your specific questions or concerns. Our program is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing us to meet each teen where they are and adjust our approach to their individual needs. We welcome adolescents from all backgrounds, regardless of family dynamics, socioeconomic status, or race, as we believe that everyone deserves access to effective care.
