Ryther provides two Partial Hospitalization Programs to serve youth who are experiencing mental and behavioral health challenges:

​

• Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for Eating Disorder Recovery ( *enrolling now* ) focuses on treating restrictive eating disorders requiring intensive intervention for youth of all genders, ages 8-16. Our team serves the client and their family through the practice of Family-Based Treatment (FBT).

​​

• Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for Neurodiverse-informed Treatment of Anxiety and OCD ( *opens June 2024* ) focuses on helping youth, ages 6-14, gain skills and strategies to progress towards stability and improved functioning. The PHP provides an inclusive environment serving neurodivergent and neurotypical youth experiencing significant challenges with anxiety and OCD.

More About Our Program:

​

• We are grounded in the ARC model (Attachment, Regulation, Competency). The ARC Model is a trauma-centered lens that informs how we approach our clients and families and how we communicate with our team and our external colleagues. 

​​

• Culturally responsive: Our team centers our clients and their parents and caregivers. We are especially aware that some of the families we serve come from communities that have traditionally been marginalized and even harmed by the mental health system. We are mission-driven to be responsive to each person’s identity and experience and to deliver treatment that fits their needs.

​​

• Continuum of care: With IOP and PHP options and ongoing therapy, parent/caregiver coaching, and group opportunities at Ryther, we provide appropriate levels of intervention support to fit clients’ needs as they progress through their treatment process. We coordinate closely with existing providers and support systems to offer the ongoing aftercare support our clients deserve.
