Juniper offers two intensive services: Juniper PHP: Mood and Anxiety and Juniper IOP: Mood and Anxiety for teens ages 14–17. The program provides a neurodiversity informed, developmentally responsive environment that focuses on the whole person, not just a diagnosis. Using evidence based therapies such as ACT, DBT, and CBT, Juniper helps teens strengthen coping and emotional regulation skills while building confidence in navigating school, relationships, and daily life.
What Makes Juniper Special?
Teens in Juniper are actively involved in crafting their individualized treatment plans. Their voice and their experience are centered in everything that we do. Juniper PHP and IOP offer distinct levels of support to provide a continuum of care for teens. We walk with clients and families every step of the way. Our skilled clinicians incorporate art, journaling, gardening and experiential activities on our challenge course to engage teens as they pursue their therapeutic journey.
