  • The Day Program is an intensive program designed to provide a large “dose” of DBT skills and therapy to help young adults get back on track.

    The Day Program is ideal for adolescents and young adults who have recently been in the hospital, are struggling with multiple problems, or are having trouble at school or work due to mental health concerns.

    While in the Day Program, clients take a short break from school or work to focus on their mental health and building the skills they need to succeed when they return to their everyday lives. Many clients take a short medical leave and return to school after completing the program, while some choose to take a full semester off.

  • The Day Program runs from 9am to 3pm five days per week. Typical enrollment is four to eight weeks, depending on client needs.

  • Clients enrolled in the Day Program receive:

    Two individual therapy sessions per week

    One family therapy session per week

    One parent coaching session per week
