Specializing in Teen Challenges
Clear Behavioral Health offers outpatient treatment for a wide range of mental health conditions that often affect adolescents. Our team works with families to understand each teen’s struggles, uncover the root causes, and build a personalized path toward recovery.
Depression
Teen depression can show as irritability, withdrawal, or changes in sleep, appetite, and school performance. Our team helps teens rebuild self-worth through compassionate, evidence-based care.
Anxiety Disorders
Teen anxiety looks different for everyone—worry, irritability, restlessness, or avoidance are common. Our team helps teens build confidence, find calm, and regain balance in daily life.
Substance Use
Teen substance use today goes beyond alcohol and marijuana to include vaping, prescription misuse, and synthetic drugs. Our team helps teens understand their use, make healthier choices, and find balance through compassionate, evidence-based care.
Academic and Social Challenges
Academic pressures and social challenges can quickly overwhelm teens. Our program teaches stress management and balance, helping parents and teens navigate these pressures together.
Chronic Stress and Burnout
When stress piles up or doesn’t let up, it can get harder to cope, leading to persistent, unrelenting tension.
ADHD and Learning Disorders
ADHD can make school and relationships challenging. We help teens build focus while giving families strategies to support academic success and healthy communication.
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder can disrupt mood, energy, and daily stability. Outpatient care provides ongoing structure and family involvement to help teens maintain stability and thrive.
OCD
Obsessive thoughts and repetitive behaviors can take over a teen’s life. With therapy, families learn how to support their teen’s treatment while regaining a sense of normalcy.
PTSD and Trauma
Trauma can deeply affect an adolescent’s emotional health and relationships. Specialized care helps teens process experiences and teaches families how to support healing at home.
Technology Dependence
We support teens in finding balance with technology by teaching them healthier ways to cope with stress, set boundaries, and build real-world connections that strengthen their confidence and wellbeing.
Self-Harm
We help teens manage overwhelming emotions by introducing safe, healthy coping strategies and emotional regulation skills, so they can express themselves without turning to harmful behaviors.
Body Image Issues
With the growing pressures on teens’ appearance and self-image, we guide them in building a healthier relationship with their bodies and self-esteem, helping them replace negative self-talk with self-acceptance and resilience.

What to Expect in Clear’s Teen Program
Our adolescent programming focuses on treating teens as teens, with unique needs and challenges. Your teen’s treatment program isn’t just a collection of therapy modalities, it encompasses support for their educational and family dynamics, life skills & coping mechanisms, and more.
Clear’s Teen Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is designed for teens who need more support than weekly therapy but don’t require 24-hour care. Teens in the program receive structured, evidence-based treatment that addresses depression, anxiety, substance use, and other challenges—all in a supportive group and individual setting. The program helps teens build coping skills, strengthen confidence, and reconnect with family, friends, and daily life.
Individual & Family Therapy
Weekly one-on-one sessions give teens a safe space to process their experiences, while monthly family therapy strengthens the entire family system.
Group Therapy
Teens participate in a variety of group sessions, including process groups, expressive arts, communication workshops, emotion regulation education, music therapy, mindfulness, and more.
Family Group Sessions
In therapist-led sessions, teens and parents work together to explore family dynamics. Parents then join a support group of their own to share experiences and gain tools for growth.
Case Management & Counseling
Each teen is paired with a dedicated case manager who provides mentorship and serves as a bridge between the family and care team.
Life Skills & Education
We help teens build everyday life skills through hands-on workshops that strengthen communication, emotional awareness, and self-management.
School Support
We work with your teen to coordinate classwork, communicate with teachers, and ensure they stay on track academically while focusing on healing.
Insurance Accepted
We accept most major insurance providers to ensure your care is accessible—contact us anytime to verify your benefits with confidence.
