Teen Outpatient Programs at Fairfax

Day and Evening Programs Now Available!

Our day and evening Teen Outpatient Programs are designed to help! Teens dealing with depression, lack of support, grief, trauma, school struggles or social activities avoidance and isolation need our support. Our outpatient services are part of the continuum of care offered for adolescents and can be used as an alternative to hospitalization. They offer more intensive care than a weekly office visit but don’t require an overnight stay or 24-hour care. Our programs include group therapy, individualized case management with a licensed clinician, structured family involvement, as well as a medication evaluation, and management by a board-certified psychiatrist.

Teen Day Program (PHP)

Hybrid or Virtual

Our Teen Day Treatment, commonly known as PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program), is an alternative to hospitalization and does not require 24-hour overnight care. Our Day Program for teens ages 13-17 focuses on interpersonal relationship struggles (decrease conflicts in the home and school settings), emotional regulation, increasing self-confidence, developing coping skills, managing social anxiety, and learning how to navigate social media safely. Through evidence-based treatment models in Dialectical Behavior Therapy DBT, Seeking Safety, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), teens and families increase connection and understanding with each other, peers, and themselves. The Teen Day Program includes group, individual, and family therapy. We offer additional support in reconnecting with school to ease the transition back into a normal routine for teens. It is our goal to stay on top of the latest research and strive to offer a comprehensive curriculum for group therapy and we add new groups to keep the information we provide fresh. Teens are encouraged to participate in their healing process. The typical length of stay or course of treatment for the Adolescent Day Program is 4-6 weeks. The treatment team will work to create an individualized treatment plan that outlines personal goals and progress. Here are examples of some of the groups we offer for the Adolescent Day Program:

• Process
• Didactic/psychoeducation
• Art/Recreation Therapy
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and coping skills
• Social Media
