Outpatient Treatment to Help Children, Teens & Adults Replace Harmful Behaviors with Healthier Ones
When Behavior Becomes a Barrier — at School, at Home, or in Relationships — It’s Time for Structured, Supportive Change

What Is Behavioral Therapy?
- Behavior is affecting school, home, or social life
- Emotional dysregulation leads to aggression, defiance, or shutdowns
- There are co-occurring challenges like ADHD, autism, or developmental delays
- Parents feel overwhelmed or out of strategies
- Adults feel “out of control” in high-stress situations

Common Concerns We Address with Behavioral Therapy
Tantrums and meltdowns
Refusal to follow instructions or rules
Physical or verbal aggression
Risk-taking or impulsivity
School disruptions and disciplinary action
Avoidance, isolation, or extreme resistance
Self-harming behaviors driven by emotional distress
