Our Programs

Partial hospitalization is a level of care between outpatient, such as a therapist's office, and inpatient, such as a hospital or residential facility. Youth ages 12-17 and their families engage in an intensive therapeutic setting and seek to make progress with emotional and behavioral stability, family conflict, self-harm behaviors, academic failure and interpersonal problems due to emotional health challenges.

What to Expect

  • Five-to-six therapy groups per day, Monday-Friday
  • Weekly psychiatric medication evaluation and management with a child psychiatrist
  • Individual therapy twice weekly and family therapy once weekly
  • Group therapy drawing from a broad range of evidence-based interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, social emotional learning and experiential therapy
  • One hour of educational work each day with instruction provided by an educator who holds both general and special education credentials
  • Care coordination, transition and discharge planning

The average length of stay for this program is five weeks.

Referral: A referral from your child's primary care provider, psychiatrist or nurse practitioner is required. You will then complete an intake with our clinical manager and clinical psychologist to determine if our program is an appropriate fit.
