Teen Intensive Outpatient Program

We meet you at the level of care that is right for you.

Outpatient treatment programs can provide step-down options after residential treatment. Or they can serve as the next level of care for a young adult who needs to go a step above what they’re receiving from an individual therapist or a local resource. If your young adult isn’t making progress in traditional therapy and is at risk, we offer a short-term, intensive program. We are licensed specialists supporting teens out of suicidal ideation, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, and digital addiction.

Connecting to the World

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a type of psychotherapy that involves a combination of cognitive therapy, meditation, and the cultivation of a present-oriented, non-judgmental attitude called "mindfulness."

Young adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, or trauma are often caught up with negative thoughts about the past or worries and fear about the future. A mindfulness approach helps them to come back to the “now.” As they learn to be present with what they are feeling through mindful practices, they are able to address the underlying issues catalyzing mental health conditions more effectively. Clients will learn MBCBT skills with the goal of being able to understand their own thoughts and emotions and to exist in the here and now.

Here, they will learn techniques to soothe themselves without drugs, phones, vapes, and video games.

Connecting to the Family

What do parents and young adult children want most in their family connections? Closer, more meaningful relationships with one another. Family counseling can help them reach that goal and find greater harmony and mutual support in the parent-child relationship.

Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT) is an evidence-based family counseling modality that not only improves these relationships but also successfully treats depression and helps prevent suicide in young people. This powerful healing approach uses a clearly structured methodology to revitalize empathy and authentic connection between parent and child—providing a solid foundation that enhances young adult mental health.

Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT) Is a very straightforward form of therapy with a simple goal. To reconnect the adolescent to their families. ABFT was developed as a short-term treatment for suicidal teenagers and is statistically proven to be highly effective.

By working to build deep trust between adolescents and families, we can transform the family into a source of support rather than a source of friction.

Connecting to the Self

In order to begin making lasting positive change, we must first accept our emotions and challenges rather than fighting or denying them. That’s the foundational principle of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques. An ACT treatment plan supports young adults to develop self-acceptance and self-compassion, reframe negative thoughts, and commit to actions that will enrich their lives.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a type of psychotherapy that uses mindfulness and acceptance strategies to help people meet these goals of understanding and connecting to themselves.
