Outpatient Mental Health Treatment for Teens

Being a teen can be difficult. Our staff can help. We offer two outpatient programs for adolescents and help them transition smoothly between programs.

Adolescent partial hospitalization program (PHP)

Your child may step down to this program after an inpatient hospital stay. Or they may go directly to PHP if they don’t need a hospital stay. They attend individual and group therapy sessions to learn how to deal with life’s stressors.

The program meets Monday through Friday from 5 – 9 p.m. Your child may attend in person or virtually. We provide dinner for those who attend in person. Learn more about our adolescent partial hospitalization program.

Adolescent intensive outpatient program (IOP)

Your child may step down to IOP after finishing PHP. Or they may attend this program directly after being referred by their provider. IOP provides structured support three or four days a week. You and your child choose the days they wish to attend. Through group therapy, your child learns coping skills to navigate life in a healthy way.

The program meets from 6 – 9 p.m. Your child may attend in person or virtually. We provide dinner if your child attends in person. Learn more about our adolescent intensive outpatient program.
