Focus

At this center, you receive personalized care for mental health conditions. They provide therapy and tailor treatment to your unique needs, diagnoses, and preferences.

This provider supports children and adolescents ages 4 to 17 who experience emotional and behavioral challenges, including trauma, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating disorder, anxiety, and self-harm. The center offers both short-term crisis care and structured residential treatment. Set on a rural 50-acre campus in Missouri, it also serves youth from military families seeking emotional stability. The team uses trauma-focused therapies like dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), equine-assisted psychotherapy, expressive arts, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Molly, the center’s therapy dog, joins sessions to support comfort and trust-building. Staff also involve families in treatment and help youth build emotional regulation, strengthen communication, and practice coping skills in daily life. Residents stay in shared rooms and follow a structured daily schedule that includes school, therapy, meals, and group activities. The center offers indoor and outdoor amenities such as a gymnasium, equestrian center, basketball court, and bowling alley. Youth also join supervised visits to local sites like YMCA and farms to support movement, connection, and emotional growth.
