Adolescent Program · Ages 13-17
Your teen is falling apart and you don't know where to turn.There is a step between weekly therapy and hospitalization.
Psycamore's adolescent program is built to reach teens before a hospitalization, and built to help teens get their footing back. Intensive enough to change the trajectory, flexible enough that they stay in school, at home, and in their own life.
- Ages
- 13 to 17
- Group therapy
- Mon-Fri, 4:00-7:00pm
- Built around
- After-school schedules
- For parents
- Weekly parent support group
“He won't leave his room. He won't talk to us. We're scared of what happens next.”
Is this the right level of care?
Does my teen need more than weekly support?
Teenagers are supposed to pull away from family. This is different, and most parents can feel the difference before they can name it.
- Withdrawing from friends, family, and everything they used to care about
- Grades falling, classes skipped, or refusing school entirely
- Anger, irritability, or outbursts that are escalating
- Self-medicating with alcohol or drugs
- Self-injury, or any talk of not wanting to be here
- Weekly therapy that isn't moving the needle
Inside the program
What happens in the program
Groups run after school, Monday through Friday, so treatment doesn't cost them their education.
Diagnostic mental health screening
A real assessment before a treatment plan, not a guess.
An individualized treatment plan
Built for this teenager, reviewed as they progress.
Group therapy, Monday-Friday
4:00-7:00pm. Peers in the same place, learning the same skills. For most teens this is the part that works.
Peer group
4:00-7:00pm. Time with teens their own age who are working through the same things, not adults telling them how it is.
Individual therapy for teens
Their own therapist, their own hour, somewhere to say the things they won't say at home.
Family therapy
Scheduled at a time that works for your family, because they're going home to you.
Medical monitoring
Medication managed by a psychiatrist during regular business hours.
Weekly parent support group
You are not the only parent going through this, and you shouldn't do it alone.
Not that they're fixed. That they have come a long way, and that they have something to use when it gets bad again.
