We Accept Most Major Insurance Plans
Our team will verify your benefits and help you understand your coverage before treatment begins.
Our Menlo Park Teen Treatment Center
A warm, welcoming space designed to help teens feel comfortable, supported, and connected.
Our Teen Treatment Programs
We offer two levels of outpatient mental health support for teens ages 12–17 in Menlo Park, with after-school and daytime options based on each teen’s needs.
After-School Support (IOP)
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) groups meet from 4–7 PM, giving teens flexible therapeutic support while staying connected to school and home.
Daytime Support (PHP)
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) meets from 10 AM–3 PM and provides more structured daytime support for teens who need a higher level of care or more intensive daily support.
Guide supports teens experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, trauma, academic stress, technology dependence, substance use, and related concerns. Learn more about what we treat.
