Mental Health Treatment for Teens
When your teen is acting out, it can be concerning for your entire family. While the teenage years can be difficult for all teens, sometimes it can go beyond that. There are many mental health issues that your teen may be dealing with, including diagnoses like depression, anxiety, trauma or bipolar disorder and related issues like school refusal. For teens, these issues can become a roadblock for their daily lives and may lead to other co-occurring issues.
Every teen with a mental health diagnosis deserves support and the multi-faceted professional treatment they need. Every teen is dealing with a unique set of clinical needs and so we meet them where they are. At our teen mental health treatment programs, we utilize a combination of therapies, process groups and therapeutic activities to provide the holistic treatment that leads to long term growth and recovery.

At Moriah, we understand the complex nature of mental health disorders and the struggle they can be for teens and adolescents. Our goal for each person that comes to our programs is for them to gain the skills and knowledge they need to leave stronger, happier, and healthier. We help struggling teens develop the strength to effect real change in their lives.
We provide more than just treatment. While the clinical needs of each client drive treatment, we support the person as a whole. Our teen mental health treatment programs are fully supported, safe environments where teens can be free to reflect on and work through their issues.
We support teens during the treatment process and beyond. Treatment at Moriah helps struggling teens move forward on their path to a healthier life and we provide resources even after treatment, through our Alumni program, to keep that momentum.
