Mental health treatment for adolescents
Children, adolescents and teens ages 12 and up can find healing and learn how to manage symptoms related to:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Other mental health conditions
While younger patients are in treatment, families and caregivers are invited to participate in family therapy. Our family outreach team ensures that families and caregivers receive education and support throughout the entire process. And if you’re worried about your child’s academic progress, our education specialists are here to help your student stay on top of their schoolwork, supporting your child for several hours a day in our residential and partial hospitalization program (PHP) centers, and easing their transition back to school when the time comes.
Adult mental health treatment
When we share our worries, struggles or sadness with others in a safe and understanding place, we can unlock something truly beautiful. This is why we offer you a compassionate treatment space where you can come exactly as you are. Pathlight’s adult programs are offered for individuals of all genders ages 18 and older, with specialized resources provided to those in our LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities.
Support for families and caregivers
When a patient enters treatment for a mental health condition, the entire family is impacted. That’s why we place an intensive focus on empowering caregivers to better support their loved ones through continued involvement, education and support. We invite you to learn more about our resources for friends, family members and caregivers.

- You can stay connected to a recovery community with our free ongoing virtual alumni support groups.

Three Steps to Find Healing
1
Come as you are.
2
Get the right support at the right time.
3
Stay connected to your recovery community.
Step 1: Come as you are.
The first step toward recovering from a mental health disorder can be the most difficult. That’s why we invite you to come as you are today. When you come as you are, we’ll get to know you as a whole person, your personal strengths and challenges, where you are in your journey and how we can help you move toward what’s important to you.
This personalized approach begins with our very first interaction. We’ll connect you with an experienced mental health professional who will get to know you as a whole person and help you explore your options. Assessments are free and 100% confidential. There is no obligation and you never need a referral.
Your assessment will help us determine what support you need to ensure you get the right care at the right time.
We are the golden thread through all levels of care, providing you with collaborative, integrated and comprehensive care.

Step 2: Get the right support at the right time.
The path to lasting recovery doesn’t always follow a straight line. It’s common for people to move through various levels of care as they find healing.
Our continuum of care ensures that your transitions between levels of care will be as smooth as possible. Our team will be by your side — and setting you up for success.
When you come to us, you’ll work with the same specialized care team from the beginning. That means you’ll stay with the same physician, psychiatrist and therapist when possible, no matter what level of care you need.
Being able to tell your story once and then live out the rest of your journey with the same care team and approach allows you to experience the full season of what you need and reduces the risk of relapse.
Benefits to this approach
The continuum of care greatly reduces the risk of relapse or regression during treatment. It also eliminates the stress that people sometimes feel when they have to tell their story over and over to different providers. And it clears your path to healing, with education along the way so you know what to expect at each level of care prior to any transitions.
Mental health disorder therapy
During treatment, our providers will use leading therapeutic interventions based on the latest clinical evidence. These therapies are designed to address your symptoms and help you understand the underlying reasons they occur. Our therapeutic approaches include:
- Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which identifies your motivation to seek help and barriers that stand in your way
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which identifies and corrects negative thoughts and triggers
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which builds emotion regulation and resilience while teaching practical skills
Here, you always belong
Our teams are deeply committed to creating a safe, supportive and affirming environment for all people who seek our care. This includes compassionate professional training that ensures our clinicians and staff will honor and support our patients wherever they are on their personal journey.
We provide gender-affirming care, with a variety of resources for LGBTQIA+ patients and people in the BIPOC community.
Step 3: Stay connected to your recovery community—both during and after treatment.
Our community outreach team will keep you connected and supported. They’ll connect you and your family with tools you need before, during and after your treatment.
Our care team will also help you make a smooth transition back to your outpatient providers. We’ll keep them in the loop throughout your treatment journey and give them the tools they need to further your recovery after you leave Pathlight.
The continuum of care offers a gradual process of healing, helping you gain independence and prove to yourself that you can do it, while still having the net there to catch you should you need it.
