Frequently Asked Questions

What ages can a teen go to therapy?

We recognize the unique stressors that young people of today face — from living in the digital world to struggling with social pressure and identity.

To create the highest potential for success, our teen outpatient program offers clinical, medical, and experiential therapies, including art, music, mindfulness and writing, and helps teens ages 13-17 develop healthy relationships as part of their recovery.

Are parents/guardians involved in treatment?

In our IOP program, we engage families in multi-family therapy groups, monthly family sessions, and weekly family updates. We also offer parent support groups for you to connect with other parents who understand.


Our approach ensures clients and their families benefit from supportive community alongside our licensed and credentialed experts.

Is teen therapy and an outpatient program the same thing?

Teen outpatient treatment includes therapy and much, much more. Our teen IOP provides a wide range of therapeutic and experiential treatments including individual therapy, group therapy and counseling in a supportive community of peers.

How does a teen attend treatment and school?

At Clear, we’re proud to offer academic support to help teen clients balance recovery and academic progress — two things that are essential to improved wellbeing.

Throughout our program, an academic consultant works with clients twice a week to help with organization and structure. Additionally, our team can coordinate with schools to advocate for additional resources in the classroom.
