Conditions We Treat at Mission Prep
We firmly believe in treating the entire family system and allowing families to address the challenges of their children in a safe, sustainable way. At Mission Prep we are committed to preparing teens for the challenges of life and giving families the fresh start they need at our teen mental health treatment.
To do this we utilize a blend of time-tested therapeutic approaches as well as innovative interventions. We create a sustainable experience that can be built upon long after the youth discharges from Mission Prep. Every element of the family’s care is conducted with attention and purpose from the sessions with our board-certified psychiatrist to the beautiful, home-like environment cultivated to bring a sense of belonging and connection for those in our care.
Specialized Treatment for Anxiety & Panic Disorders
Chronic anxiety and sudden panic attacks can significantly interfere with daily living, relationships, and academic performance. Our specialized care plans address both broad anxiety conditions and specific triggers to restore peace of mind.
Comprehensive Depression & Mood Disorder Care
Depression affects every aspect of life, from energy levels and focus to self-worth. We offer evidence-based programs designed to manage persistent sadness, major depressive episodes, and related mood fluctuations.
Treatment & Support for Bipolar Disorders
Navigating high shifts in mood and energy requires tailored therapeutic strategies. Our targeted care plans help stabilize mood swings, prevent severe episodes, and build long-term emotional balance.
Care for Complex Psychiatric & Thought Disorders
Conditions that alter perception, reality testing, or thought processing require comprehensive clinical support. We provide compassionate, structured care for individuals dealing with psychosis and severe psychiatric challenges.
Trauma Recovery & Crisis Intervention
When emotional pain manifests as intense trauma symptoms, self-harm, or distress, immediate structured help is essential. Our crisis and behavioral support services prioritize safety, healing, and healthy coping mechanisms.
Support for Academic, Social & Behavioral Growth
Young people often face distinct developmental hurdles, from focus difficulties to digital habits and social integration. We offer targeted solutions to improve executive function, social connection, and academic success.
Our Teen Treatment Locations
Our facilities are an important part of the treatment process at Mission Prep Teen Treatment. We believe it’s critical for our clients to have a safe and welcoming environment to build the tools they need to facilitate healing. We maintain modern and welcoming homes to provide stability to adolescents throughout treatment. Teens are able to develop and practice strategies that help lay the foundation for sustainable healing.

How We Approach Care
At Mission Prep, we strive to provide a unique and innovative therapeutic approach that blends time-tested therapeutic approaches with innovative interventions.
Collaborative Care
We invite clients and families into active conversation and collaboration to help determine the appropriate care plan. We strive to create open dialogue with clients and families.
Vote & Voice
Clients have a vote and voice in their treatment. This creates responsibility, agency and self-efficacy that can be translated into their daily lives during and post treatment.
Sustainability
Rather than removing all stressors, we allow for selective exposure which allows the care team to step in to help if necessary while allowing the client the opportunity to learn how to positively handle potential triggers.
Family Focused
Successful treatment starts with working with the entire family system. We treat families with the same attention and care as we do their loved ones staying with us. We provide them with support and resources to utilize regularly.
There is no commitment required. Just an honest, confidential conversation about the support your family needs. Let’s take the first step together.

Our Levels of Care
We offer teens structured, 24/7 care in small, home-like residences featuring dedicated staff, high staff-to-client ratios, and custom nutrition from in-house chefs.
Residential
Our residential mental health programs are designed to treat a variety of mental health conditions. They provide resources, structure, and treatment in a live-in environment.
As inpatient behavioral health programs, they offer a more holistic and hands-on treatment approach with access to 24/7 health care and personalized treatment plans including:
- Evidence-Based Clinical Therapy: Twice-weekly individual therapy, weekly psychiatric oversight, and regular group sessions using modalities like CBT.
- Whole-Family Involvement: Weekly family therapy, continuous staff updates, and structured support to address the entire family system.
- Academic Support: Daily structured academic instruction to keep teens on track with their local school district.
- Experiential & Holistic Modalities: Programs like equine therapy, art/music therapy, mindfulness/yoga, and recreational outings (e.g., beach trips, hiking).
- Life Skills & Healthy Tech Management: Training in executive functioning, stress management, and sustainable, supervised device usage.
Mission Prep’s residential facilities are staffed with qualified clinicians who provide medication management, therapeutic programming, and the highest level of care.
Therapies
Mission Prep offers a combination of holistic mental health services and evidence-based therapies like the following:
- Group Therapy
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Techniques

Outpatient
Our intensive outpatient program (IOP) is a form of treatment designed to help those with mental health conditions through a combination of group and individual therapy. Qualified mental health professionals lead clients through evidence-based behavioral health programming and psychoeducation during the day, allowing clients to return home outside of treatment hours.
IOP programs provide comprehensive mental health treatment and thorough access to health care, but at a more flexible schedule. Our IOP works well for those needing less support than residential treatment provides or as a continuum of care, step-down after residential care.
Mission Prep offers outpatient programs through our sister brand, Mission Connection, in California with virtual treatment options to meet your unique needs.
