Five key differentiators set Embark apart from other behavioral health care providers.
- We offer a robust continuum of care that provides different levels of service and programming based on an individual’s changing needs, from virtual counseling to residential services.
- We have a deep legacy of over 25 years serving youths, focused on preteens, teens, and young adults.

Unique Clinical Model: CASA Framework
Embark uses the CASA Developmental Framework to inform all treatment and care. This proprietary framework’s purpose is to help developmentally heal and strengthen functional, mental, and physical health through commitment, acceptance, security, and attunement (also known as empathy in action).
