Mental Health for Children and Teens in Columbus, Indiana

Our residential treatment program addresses the needs of adolescents who have had difficulty dealing with mental health issues and maintaining appropriate behavior. Residential treatment is offered to children ages 8–12 and adolescents ages 13–18 and treatment is guided by the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Our Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) program has been shown to significantly reduce para-suicidal behaviors such as cutting, suicide attempts and in-patient stays. This program is offered to adolescent girls only.
