WHAT IS Teen mental health services?
Providing Top-Notch Mental Health Treatment Services To The Long Beach Community
Teen mental health treatment focuses on managing the mental health issues that adolescents face. This period of life can be challenging due to various physical, emotional, social, and academic changes.
Teens might deal with issues like anxiety, depression, substance abuse, eating disorders, and more. The goal of treatment is not just to address the symptoms but to support the overall well-being and development of the young person.
Therapy
Individual therapy (such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or CBT), group therapy, and family therapy are common approaches. These therapies enable teens to understand their feelings, develop coping strategies, improve communication skills, and resolve conflicts.
Medication
In some cases, medication may be prescribed to manage symptoms of mental health issues, such as antidepressants for depression or anxiety, and stimulant medications for ADHD.
Supportive Services
Educational support, peer support groups, and other community services can provide additional layers of support to help teens address their challenges.

Here at Roots Mental Wellness, we are dedicated to providing the highest level of safety and support to our patients. We know how hard it is to fight depression, and you are not alone. Our treatment team is here to help guide you on your journey to wellness.
The Roots Teen program is specifically designed to treat adolescents and teenagers (ages 13-18) and the issues that are unique to them. We also have a young adult and adult program for clients ages 18 and up.

Definitely! We highly recommend visiting Roots to get a firsthand look at our facility and meet our team before making any treatment decisions. Experiencing our program in person is the best way to understand what we offer, and we're confident that both you and your teen will feel positive about choosing us once you see what we're all about.
The average duration of stay in our program exceeds that of similar programs, typically three times longer. This extended period is essential because behavioral health disorders often have deep-seated causes that require time to fully identify and address. Our treatment methods, particularly those aimed at resolving trauma, need a longer engagement to be effective. It's this commitment to a more extended stay that contributes to our remarkable treatment success.
We address trauma through different approaches. All our clinicians are trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which is offered during individual therapy sessions. Additionally, we run trauma-focused groups that assist teens in recognizing and working through their trauma, addressing both the mental and physical manifestations of their experiences.
Our team includes experienced therapists, social workers, and drug and alcohol counselors, all with advanced degrees. They are either licensed or close to getting their license. Our program is led by a licensed psychologist and a medical director who is an expert in addiction medicine, both highly skilled in their fields.
We don't allow phone use during individual or group therapy sessions, but your teen is welcome to bring their phone. An important part of our treatment involves guiding your teen on how to use technology and social media responsibly.
