Research shows telehealth can be effective for many adolescents when delivered by licensed clinicians in a structured program. Our virtual IOP and OP include frequent contact, skills practice, and family involvement — not just occasional video check-ins.
We treat teens ages 12–17 with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-harm concerns, and related conditions who can safely participate in virtual care. A free consultation helps us determine clinical fit.
