About

Welcome to Day Treatment!

Sometimes life can be challenging, we understand that. For many of us a little extra support is all we need to get back on track, and we live in a world of ever-expanding access to mental health. However sometimes a little help just is not enough, we watch our loved ones struggle to deal with the basics of life; like making it to school every day, fighting with everyone in their lives, becoming overwhelmed with stress or depression, running away or even getting in trouble with the law. That is where we can help.

Our 90 day program is tailor made to support your teen as they navigate these challenges. Couched in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we offer a comprehensive approach that includes Medication and Behavior management. We also know the impact that a struggling member of a family can have on you, and make sure to support you and your family through the program with family therapy and care giver support. We believe that despite all our challenges, everyone can live a fulfilling and meaningful life.

We invite you to take a moment and read more about us, then give us a call or shoot us an email to see if we are a good fit for you and your child.

Our Mission

We believe in breaking down barriers of access to mental health treatment. Our comprehensive Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) based program, along with family and community support, strives to create a space that fosters growth and resilience in the face of childhood adversities. Our integrated approach allows for wrap around support of youth dealing with a wide range of struggles, from childhood trauma, to anxiety, substance use, reactive attachment disorders, and beyond.

Our core program is a day treatment program (sometimes referred to as a PHP) that runs Monday-Friday from 9am-3pm. This 3-month program is designed to support youth in navigating life's challenges through learning skillful behaviors, the practice of cognitive defusion, and adopting value-based living. Our program is geared toward those with academic,

social, emotional, or behavioral challenges who need more support than traditional therapy offers. We are also here to support adolescents in the process of stepping down from a higher level of care.
