Therapy for Adolescents

Adolescent DBT - This is not about “moody” teens

Sure, teens can be dramatic—scientifically speaking, that’s why they’re called “teens.” Treatment becomes an option when they’re experiencing more than the typical teenage ups and downs. Therapy is a possibility when everyone is overwhelmed – when you don’t know what to do. MHS is here for the times when your child needs more support and better skills than you can provide. This is no reflection on anyone—awesome families struggled with emotion-based issues.

We’ve seen a great need for a program for addiction recovery and mental health among young people, and starting fall 2024 are excited to offer Waypoint for Teens. Waypoint is a consistently successful DBT program for adult addiction recovery and mental health wellbeing, now evolved and adapted to better relate to a teenage mindset, attitude and situation.

Schedule

  • 14-18 years old
  • Meets twice weekly in-person or online via Virtu-Clinic
  • Once monthly parent involvement

Our Adolescent DBT Program provides comprehensive therapy and skills for both teens and parents. Length of treatment is variable based on medical necessity and goal attainment.

Enhanced life skills

This program helps teenagers, ages 14 to 18, decrease symptoms, maintain safety, and improve quality of life. Our supportive, and challenging, program motivates teens to practice skills in and out of therapy sessions. Adolescents learn abilities such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and life balance.

Our programs are designed to work closely with other providers to ensure our clients receive the highest level of comprehensive mental health services to meet their needs.

Some 18-year-old clients may be eligible for an adult DBT program depending on assessed developmental level and life circumstances.

If your child is 14, the intake assessment will determine whether our Early Adolescent or Adolescent group is the best fit for them.

Virtu-Clinic: Virtual connecting with real results

Nearly all of our programs are available via our online Virtu-Clinic. This option allows you to totally control your environment. Same therapists and clients—just shrunk down to screen size.
