Outpatient Mental Health Treatment for Teens at Mission Prep Adolescent Treatment
Outpatient mental health treatment for teens provides structured support for adolescents who are coping with emotional, mental, or behavioral challenges.
For many teens, outpatient can be a fantastic option, especially those who don’t require round-the-clock medical care or supervision. Instead of staying at a treatment center, teens accessing outpatient treatment can continue to live at home, attend school, and maintain their daily routines.
At Mission Prep Teen Treatment, we offer outpatient care for teens living in California or Washington. Our team of mental health experts ensures each teen’s treatment plan is tailored to meet each teen’s unique needs and goals, which can help them access support with a sense of ownership and commitment.

Mental Health Challenges We Treat at Mission Prep Teen Treatment
Our outpatient programs are designed to provide age-appropriate mental health treatment to adolescents aged 12 to 17 years. We can support a wide range of complex conditions through outpatient care for struggling teens, including:
- Anxiety disorders
- Depression
- Trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Mood disorders, including bipolar disorder
- Thought disorders, such as schizophrenia
- Adjustment disorders
- Anger issues
- Academic and social challenges
- Technology dependence
By offering this array of therapeutic interventions, our outpatient programs allow teens to heal at home with, and a sense of ownership over, their treatments and schedules — especially as these are adaptable to their unique and changing needs.
We are also an LGBTQIA+ inclusive healthcare provider, offering neurodiversity-affirming therapy. So, whether you want outpatient anxiety treatment for a teen who identifies as gay or psychiatric outpatient treatment for a teen who is asexual, we’ll create an individual treatment plan.
What to Expect From Our Outpatient Mental Health Treatment for Teens
The teen mental health outpatient services offered by Mission Prep Teen Treatment are designed to meet teens where they are at and help them improve their mental health and well-being. Here’s what you can expect from our adolescent outpatient mental health services:
1. Assessments
Our experienced team of mental health professionals provides comprehensive evaluations and diagnostic assessments to identify the underlying causes of your teen’s symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan.
2. High Levels of Support
Our outpatient program is a fully virtual intensive outpatient program (VIOP). This makes it ideal for adolescents who do not need 24/7 care but require more support and structure than a standard weekly outpatient therapist can provide. VIOPs can also be a form of step-down care for teens moving from a higher level of care, such as residential treatment or a PHP, to less intensive support.
3. Personalized Treatment Plans
Outpatient treatment plans include the following key components:
- Individual therapy: Dedicated one-on-one sessions tailored to your teen’s needs and goals
- Psychiatric care: Ongoing reviews and medication management (when appropriate) to support your child’s mental health recovery
- Family therapy: Regular sessions to improve communication and relationships
- Family support groups: Parents and carers can discover how they can support their teen’s recovery journey
- Group sessions: Small group sessions that provide peer support, education, therapy, and the chance to learn coping skills
4. Continued Support After Outpatient Treatment
We provide aftercare planning and alumni programs to make sure your teen continues to receive the support they need after completing their outpatient program.
At Mission Prep Teen Treatment, we offer a full range of mental health services to ensure your child receives the care, support, and treatment they require. This begins from the very first moment you contact us and continues through treatment, even after they leave our care. This all-around support is what helps teens achieve long-lasting healing.
Teen Outpatient Therapy Program: Weekly Structure
We understand how important it is for adolescents to get the support they need and deserve in a flexible way that fits around their academic commitments and personal responsibilities. That’s why we offer outpatient treatment as an after school therapy program teens can schedule around their school times.
While the exact details of a teen’s treatment plan are shaped by their needs and goals, the general structure of our outpatient program looks like this:
- Individual therapy: One to two sessions per week
- Psychiatric care: Medication management and psychiatric support every two weeks
- Family therapy: Weekly or fortnightly
- Family support groups: Once every two weeks
- Group sessions: Three to five “blocks” each week, consisting of three one-hour group sessions
During school semesters, group sessions run Monday to Friday from 4pm to 7pm. However, during the summer break, these sessions shift to earlier in the day, from 2pm to 5pm.
