A Structured Approach to Teen Mental Health

Our Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers a structured treatment environment without requiring teens to step away from their regular school routines. Our 10-week program meets three days per week after school, combining evidence-based therapeutic approaches, group support, and individualized care.

We help adolescents develop practical coping strategies, strengthen emotional regulation, improve communication, and build confidence. We also recognize the important role families play in the treatment process and work to encourage healthier relationships and supportive home environments.

Comprehensive Mental Healthcare at Essential Touchstones

Our broader services include medication management, comprehensive psychological testing, nutrition consultation, trauma-informed massage therapy, and individualized education plans. These complementary services help us address different aspects of mental wellness.

If your teenager is struggling emotionally or behaviorally, our team is here to help. Essential Touchstones provides individualized mental healthcare for families throughout Jackson and surrounding Mississippi communities.
