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 serves children and adolescents with emotional, behavioral, and psychiatric needs through hospital-based inpatient, outpatient, and day treatment programs. Teams work with youth facing anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, trauma, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and disruptive behaviors with clinical evaluations and therapies tailored to each child’s stage of development. Clinicians use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), family counseling, behavior plans, and psychiatric care to support each child’s treatment goals. They guide youth and families through structured activities, individual and group sessions, school-based services, and medication management tailored to the child’s needs. Specialists across psychiatry, psychology, education, and medicine stay closely involved. Children stay in a hospital-based setting where staff provide 24-hour supervision and pediatric medical support. The partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers structured daytime care with therapy, on-site schooling, and support for transitioning back home. Outpatient services include individual, family, and psychiatric sessions. Staff emphasize family participation and aftercare planning across all levels of care.
