Center for Families provides integrated mental health and co-occurring disorders treatment for teens and their families.
Center for Families is a different kind of community and therapeutic treatment center for teens in that we take a whole-person treatment approach that includes the family system. Our mission is to provide comprehensive, integrated treatment programs for teens, in an environment of compassion and acceptance, that help them to grow in their self-esteem and self-efficacy.
We support clients and their families by helping them to heal from the effects of trauma and attachment wounds, including anxiety, depression, substance use, eating disorders/disordered eating, and other behavioral and mental health issues.

PHP/Therapeutic Day Program
The Center for Families Teen Treatment Program is a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) that blends the therapeutic support of outpatient treatment with academic progress. It includes diagnostic, assessment, education, and clinical and experiential treatment services for youth who are struggling with behavioral, mental health, and/or substance use issues.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
For teens who remain in a traditional school setting but need ongoing care for mental health concerns within a supportive community, an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) with afternoon hours is an ideal solution. Center for Families’ IOP offers individual, group, and family therapy, as well as support groups for parents.
Nourish Partial Hospitalization Program
Center for Families’ Nourish program is a unique treatment program specialized for teens experiencing mental health struggles accompanied by poor body image and/or a difficult relationship with food. Our registered dietitians provide individual nutrition screenings and risk assessments, and provide nutritional education and consultations.
Academics at Center for Families
CFF’s academic program is a vital part of our full-day Therapeutic Day Program/PHP. We support students to stay on track with their academics while receiving the mental health treatment they need.
Teens cultivate a sense of self-worth based on self-compassion and resilience, fulfilling their academic potential while laying the foundation for a thriving future.
Expert Medication Management
Unlike other teen therapeutic day and outpatient programs, Center for Families has licensed psychiatrists on staff—MDs who facilitate CFF’s medical assessments to help families and teens manage medication or evaluate if there might be a need for medication. Our psychiatrists take an in-depth approach to medication assessments, to prevent overmedication and to ensure that therapeutic modalities are at the heart of our treatment plans, which are personalized to target each teen’s personal history and potential challenges.
An Integrated Approach
Whether your teen is attending our Therapeutic Day Program/PHP or Intensive Outpatient Program, our dedicated team of licensed and caring professionals is here for your teen and your entire family.
Our treatment programs use a multidisciplinary approach, with tailored treatment plans for each client based on their individual needs. Teens at CFF receive the support they need to maintain their emotional well-being while pursuing academic and life goals, so they don’t feel left behind.
