Embark Behavioral Health in Berwyn, Pennsylvania

During outpatient counseling at our Berwyn clinic, your adolescent or teen will meet with a local therapist while maintaining their daily schedule. For those who have moderate mental health symptoms and a daily routine that’s not negatively impacting their mental health, outpatient therapy may be a good option.    

Outpatient visits to our clinic can involve weekly individual counseling sessions with one of our Berwyn therapists. We also offer group therapy through our intensive outpatient and therapeutic day treatment programs.    

The main difference between weekly individual counseling sessions, the intensive outpatient program, and the therapeutic day treatment program at our Berwyn clinic is the amount of time your adolescent or teen will spend in treatment. Weekly individual therapy sessions require the least amount of time and can be scheduled at a specific time of day. An intensive outpatient program takes place in the evening to accommodate school and work schedules and typically meets three hours a day, three to four days per week, for a total of nine to 12 hours per week. A therapeutic day treatment program typically meets 5.5 hours a day, five days a week, for a total of 27.5 hours per week.     

The length of mental health treatment depends on each child’s particular needs and whether they’re attending weekly individual therapy sessions or participating in a therapeutic day treatment or intensive outpatient program in Berwyn. On average, outpatient treatment at our clinic can last from three months to one year. If a deeper level of treatment is needed, adolescents and teens can step up a level of care to an inpatient hospitalization program.    

The goal of outpatient therapy at our program is to help adolescents and teens overcome difficult behavioral health issues like anxiety and depression through a series of visits to one of our Berwyn therapists for weekly individual counseling sessions or an intensive outpatient or therapeutic day treatment program.    

There are many benefits to outpatient treatment at our Berwyn program. Adolescents and teens can maintain work and school schedules and receive support from friends and family while receiving counseling — and at a more affordable cost on average than most inpatient treatment options.
