A Brief Overview

Please make sure you read the following details carefully before making any applications.

Are you passionate about helping teens and families navigate life's toughest moments?
Carroll Hospital's Adolescent Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offer structured, short-term treatment for adolescents who need more support than traditional outpatient therapy but do not require 24-hour inpatient care. Through daily group therapy, psychiatric support, and collaboration with schools and families, our programs help teens stabilize, build coping skills, and successfully transition back to home and academic life.

Our program is LGBTQ2S-affirming, gender-affirming, trauma-informed, and trauma-responsive, providing inclusive and culturally competent care for all adolescents and families. Clinicians utilize evidence-based treatment modalities, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and other strength-based interventions.
