Our outpatient treatment for troubled teens is an afternoon program to treat adolescents who need more than weekly therapy while they maintain their current school schedule.
In this afterschool program, we focus on teen mental health, treating individuals aged 13 to 17 with mild symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, behavioral issues, or substance use.
For teens
- 1 hour of individual therapy per week
- Family sessions as needed
- 3 hours of daily evidence-based therapeutic groups designed for teens, including:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Holistic and experiential therapies such as yoga, mindfulness, and music and art therapy
- Nutritional support as required
Care for parents
- Weekly Parent Support Group
- Weekly parent coaching call
- Clinical support for crisis management
Our multidisciplinary team involved in the program:
- Board-certified psychiatrist
- Licensed therapists
- Registered dietitians
- Experiential therapists
- Care coordinators
Teens may struggle with a variety of conditions that benefit from mental health care in addition to therapy. At Adolescent Wellness Academy, we use intensive outpatient treatment as part of treatment plans for:
- Major depressive disorder
- Generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Bipolar disorder
- Eating disorders
- Self-harm and suicidal ideation
- Co-occurring disorders (such as depression and substance use)
Our psychiatric team works to understand the whole picture – emotional, behavioral, academic, and social – before recommending any treatment options. Every teen receives a care plan tailored to their unique needs.
Benefits of intensive outpatient treatment for troubled teens
Teens continue to attend their own school and other activities while pursuing their therapeutic goals. Our afterschool program begins at 4:00 pm and ends at 7:00 pm, Monday through Friday, with two daily groups. Teens may attend 3 or 5 days per week. We recognize that personal growth involves self-discovery, and the pace of this journey varies for each individual. As a general guideline, teens typically participate in the program for 10-16 weeks.
Each adolescent receives a personalized treatment plan developed by our pediatric mental health professionals to address their specific concerns and goals. Our team collaborates with each teen in a supportive, confidential environment, encouraging them to express their thoughts and emotions. Involving family members is encouraged when appropriate, as it strengthens progress and offers a well-rounded support system.
