For parents
What does teen treatment at Enhance include?
Treatment starts with an assessment of how your teen is doing at school, at home and with their safety. The team uses that assessment to build a plan, not to give your teen a label.
If more support is needed
Teen care at Enhance is outpatient and virtual. If your teen needs more support than that, admissions will tell you on the call and help you find the right next step.
If your teen is thinking about suicide or is in danger right now, call 988 or go to the nearest emergency room.

When to consider it
Signs your teen may need more support
Any of these signs can mean your teen needs more support, even though none of them is a diagnosis.
- Your teen's grades have dropped sharply, or they have stopped going to school.
- Your teen has pulled away from friends and from the family.
- Panic, low mood or anger is getting in the way of most days.
- You think your teen may be drinking or using drugs.
- A monthly therapy appointment is no longer enough to help.
- You are worried your teen may hurt themselves.
Weekly therapy may be enough if
- Your teen feels safe at home and at school.
- Weekly sessions are helping your teen cope.
- You can take part in the appointments.
If there is immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For a mental health crisis, call or text 988.

Common questions from parents
If your question is not answered here, call admissions at (714) 862-1907.
How do I support a teenager who is struggling?
Start by booking an assessment and staying involved in it. You will be asked about school and home, and you do not need the right words before you call.
What therapy do you use with teens?
Therapists use CBT and DBT to treat teen anxiety and ADHD. Your teen's plan is set after the assessment, based on what the team learns.
Will my teen have to miss school?
Usually not. After-school and virtual sessions are designed so your teen can keep going to school. If your teen needs more support than that, admissions will tell you.
What ages do you treat?
Please ask admissions on the call. They can tell you whether your child is the right age for the teen program.
Can both parents come to the assessment?
Yes. Family is part of the first meeting. If only one parent can attend, that is still enough to get started.
Call admissions about your teen
You can call before you have every detail sorted out. Admissions will tell you whether outpatient or virtual care is a good fit for your teen.
