Top-notch adolescent mental health experts

Learn strategies for boosting psychological wellness

At Avery’s House, we understand that each teenager is unique, with their own stories, struggles, and strengths. With this in mind, we customize our programs for troubled youth to meet the needs of everyone we serve. Our team of adolescent mental health professionals brings not only in-depth knowledge but empathy and understanding to their work. This combination of expertise and genuine compassion establishes trust, making it easier for teens to open up.

Three factors that ensure a successful recovery journey 

Some troubled teen programs miss the mark by overlooking elements crucial to treatment success. Without these, adolescents may find it difficult (or even impossible) to overcome mental health challenges. At Avery’s House, we avoid this mistake. To boost chances of a successful recovery, we’ve incorporated three key factors into our residential treatment program: 

Family Involvement

  • Recognizing its pivotal role in recovery, we encourage family participation during every phase of treatment. Our approach includes family therapy sessions, progress updates, and comprehensive aftercare planning. Aftercare ensures a seamless transition back into home life.

Academic Support

  • We provide comprehensive educational services to ensure teens don’t fall behind academically while in treatment. Our offerings include homework help, one-on-one tutoring, and skills training to help teens manage their academic workload without getting overwhelmed.

Medication Management

  • Because some teens require more than therapy to cope with mental health challenges, we offer medication management for those who need it. We carefully ensure that each prescription is customized to individual needs, delivered accurately, and monitored closely.
