Services

Children

Children between ages 5 and 12 with emotional or behavior problems benefit from group and activity therapies that help develop a positive self-image and healthy social and communication skills. Through behavioral therapy, we help children learn about healthy modes of interaction —including the identification of harmful behaviors. Our mental health programs for children instill positive habits and essential communication skills. We encourage family members to participate in these treatments as well.

Adolescents

Teens participate daily in education, group, activities, and process therapy to develop a positive self-image, healthy social and communication skills, and the tools to enjoy a substance-free life. Our Adolescent Mental Health Program incorporates individual treatment plans that empower patients to build strong interpersonal skills. We incorporate a multidisciplinary approach in our teen counseling services that allows patients to receive the care they need while also building independence and healthy social behaviors.

Patient Stories

"River Crest has a incredibly rare jewel in its hands."

Our therapist, Amber, conducted the most powerful group therapy today I have ever attended in 30 years of doing so. While emotions reared an explosive pitch, she remained calm and directed us back to an equilibrium without asking us to suppress our feelings. Her smile and twinkling kind eyes created an air of love and acceptance. River Crest has a incredibly rare jewel in its hands. Cherish it, reward it, teach her ways.
