Comprehensive Intensive Outpatient Program for Adolescents in Phoenix, AZ

Our philosophy is that your child exists in a larger system outside of themselves. Research and experience have shown that long-lasting change takes place when the entire family engages in healing. That’s why our intensive outpatient program in Arizona focuses on collaborative, family-centered care.

Adolescent-focused group therapy can help!
At The Rosemary Tree, our intensive outpatient program for adolescents is uniquely designed to specifically address the challenges today's young people are facing. Our program ends the feelings of isolation by placing teens in group settings, allowing them to build a sense of meaning and purpose in their interactions together.
We also focus extensively on incorporating the entire family unit, making the transition more seamless and providing every member of the family with the tools to make meaningful change. As a leading intensive outpatient program for youth in Arizona, we ensure that both teens and their families receive the support needed for long-term healing.
What makes our Adolescent IOP program unique?
We provide trauma-focused IOP for teens, adolescent anxiety treatment, teen depression treatment and support young people dealing with issues rooted in trauma or attachment wounds. Our specialized programs are designed for the challenges of adolescence, offering personalized care that blends clinical therapy with hands-on experiences, academic support, and life skills training.
This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Each young person receives a tailored treatment plan to help them navigate this critical stage and thrive. Always firmly rooted in clinically exceptional, evidence-based care, we intentionally integrate creativity, play, exploration and activities tailored to each participant's growth.
New skills endure longer when we experience them. Our holistic program embraces kinesthetic learning, art, movement, creativity, and nature in order to bring about the greatest change. Our mental health therapy for teens in Phoenix is one of the most unique programs in the state of Arizona.
We believe family is central to lasting healing, so our approach focuses on the family as the solution, not the problem. By healing parent-child bonds and fostering authentic connections, teens in our programs build self-compassion, resilience, and healthier relationships with parents and peers.
