BFS Treehouse: Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Compassionate, Comprehensive Mental Health Care Built Around Your Teen’s Life.
Empowering Teens. Supporting Families.

Designed for adolescents ages 12 to 17, our Intensive Outpatient Program combines evidence-based clinical therapy with real-world skill-building—all structured around the school day so your teen never misses class.
We remove the everyday obstacles to care by providing door-to-door transportation and built-in educational support.
Who We Serve: Youth ages 12–17 facing mental health challenges.
Program Schedule: Monday – Friday | 3:00 PM – 6:30 PM

The BFS Treehouse Difference
We built BFS Treehouse on three core pillars to ensure long-term progress and success:
Life Skills Through Therapy:
Beyond symptom management, our clinical curriculum embeds functional, everyday skill-building—including emotional regulation, executive functioning, interpersonal skills, and independent living basics.
Technology-Enabled Care:
We leverage modern digital tools and daily check-ins during groups to keep teens engaged, supported, and connected throughout their journey.
Zero-Barrier Access:
Traditional programs fail when life gets in the way. We offer included transportation and direct school support so nothing stands between your teen and their progress.
