A program to help teens overcome their struggles
Weekly counseling helps a lot of teens. But if your child has already tried talk therapy and things haven’t improved — or their struggles are affecting school, safety, or the whole family — a more structured, therapy-intensive program may be the next step. Located at 8105 E Plymouth in Mesa, Avery’s House offers a residential teen counseling and therapy program combining individual, family, and group therapy inside a supportive, home-like environment.
Safe
- A judgment-free atmosphere for teens to express their thoughts and feelings.
Convenient
- Our program allows teens to seamlessly integrate therapy with academic commitments.
Accessible
- With multiple facilities in Arizona, we try to make sure our centers are easily reachable for families in Arizona.
Is outpatient counseling enough, or does your teen need more?
Consider a residential therapy program if:
- Your teen has been in weekly counseling for months without meaningful improvement.
- Their anxiety, depression, or behavioral struggles are disrupting school, friendships, or home life.
- They’ve recently completed a hospital or inpatient stabilization program and need a structured next step.
- You’ve noticed self-harm, suicidal thoughts, or substance use alongside their mental health symptoms.
- Your family needs support that goes beyond a once-a-week appointment — including daily therapeutic structure and family involvement.
If none of these describe your situation, a local outpatient counselor may be the right first step — and that’s a good thing. If they do, here’s what a therapy-focused residential program looks like.
What teen therapy looks like at Avery’s House
Every teen in our residential program receives a personalized therapy plan built around three connected layers of care:
- Individual therapy — weekly one-on-one sessions with a dedicated therapist to work through the specific issues bringing your teen to treatment.
- Family therapy — regular sessions and case management to rebuild communication and give parents concrete tools, not just updates.
- Group therapy — peer sessions where teens practice social skills and realize they’re not alone in what they’re facing.
Therapeutic modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, experiential and art/music therapy, and medication management when appropriate.
