At Navita Health, we understand the unique challenges that teens face in today’s fast-paced and often stressful world.
Serving the youth of Texas with specialized mental health care, we are committed to providing supportive, effective treatment tailored to adolescents aged 13 to 17.
Our services at the Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) levels of care are designed to offer comprehensive support in a flexible, yet structured environment that accommodates the needs of each individual.
Our Therapeutic Modalities
Navita Health employs a wide range of therapeutic modalities to address the various aspects of mental health challenges that teens may encounter.
Each modality is chosen based on its effectiveness and the specific needs of the teen in treatment. Here’s an overview of the therapies we offer:
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is a cornerstone of our approach, providing one-on-one sessions between the teen and a therapist.
This modality focuses on personal issues, emotional challenges, and behavioral patterns. It allows for personalized attention and deep exploration of the issues affecting the teen, tailored to their individual recovery goals.
Group Therapy
Group therapy offers teens the opportunity to meet with peers who are facing similar challenges.
This setting fosters a sense of community and support, enabling teens to learn from each other’s experiences and practice social skills in a safe environment.
Topics can range from managing anxiety and depression, to enhancing communication skills and building self-esteem.
Family Therapy
Family dynamics play a crucial role in a teen’s mental health. Family therapy involves the teen’s family members in the treatment process, helping to improve communication and resolve conflicts.
This approach also educates families on how to best support their teen’s mental health journey.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT is particularly effective for teens who experience intense emotions. It teaches skills in four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
DBT helps teens learn how to manage their emotions better and improve their relationships with others.
Animal Assisted Therapy
Incorporating animals into therapy can help teens reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.
The presence of an animal during therapy sessions can provide comfort, reduce loneliness, and increase mood through non-verbal communication and unconditional support.
Equine Therapy
Equine therapy involves interactions with horses, which can include grooming, feeding, and leading a horse.
It’s known for helping to develop skills such as accountability, responsibility, self-confidence, problem-solving, and empathy.
Art Therapy
Art therapy allows teens to express their thoughts and feelings through creative activities like drawing, painting, or sculpting.
This form of therapy is especially helpful for those who may find it difficult to articulate their emotions through words.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
MBCT combines cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness strategies.
It is designed to help teens avoid relapsing into depression by teaching them to focus less on reacting to incoming stimuli, and more on accepting and observing them without judgment.
Somatic Experiencing Therapy
This therapy focuses on bodily sensations to help teens recover from stress and trauma.
Somatic Experiencing aids in releasing tension, anger, or frustration through physical exercises that help resolve the physical responses to trauma.
Our Approach to Care
At Navita Health, we believe in a holistic approach to treatment, which means we consider all aspects of a teen’s life, including their physical health, mental health, social interactions, and educational needs.
Our PHP and IOP programs are designed to integrate seamlessly into a teen’s daily life, allowing them to continue with their education and social activities while receiving the care they need.
PHP and IOP Levels of Care
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): This is a more intensive level of care where teens attend treatment services during the day but return home in the evenings. It is suitable for those who require consistent medical monitoring but do not need 24-hour supervision.
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): IOP allows teens to participate in their regular daily activities, such as school, while also attending treatment sessions several days a week, typically for a few hours at a time.
