Our LGBTQ-Affirming Mental Healthcare in Santa Monica

Our Santa Monica outpatient program provides safe, nurturing, inclusive, and affirming mental health treatment for youth ages 13–18 of all sexual orientations and gender identities. Programming includes developmentally appropriate opportunities for identity exploration; individual and group therapy; and family therapy to strengthen trust and communication between teens and parents. Newport Academy Santa Monica offers both a Partial Hospitalization Program, with full-day programming five days a week; and an Intensive Outpatient Program, with afternoon/evening hours. We treat mental health issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, problem substance use, and disordered eating. The core issue we address is the lack of self-esteem that underlies mental health conditions.

Santa Monica Mental Health Statistics

Mental Health America (MHA)’s rankings show that close to one in 10 California teens had a major depressive episode during the past year. Furthermore, one-third of teens in Southern California report feeling sad or hopeless, and for 13 percent of Los Angeles youth, depressive symptoms accelerated to the point of seriously considering a suicide attempt, the CDC reports.

Despite this growing need, however, California ranks near the bottom of the MHA scale in terms of access to mental healthcare. That translates to 64 percent of California teens with depression who receive no treatment at all. Southern California families searching online for “teen counseling near me,” “adolescent mental health treatment centers near me,” or “teenage therapy near me” often find limited options and availability.

Santa Monica Outpatient FAQs

What is the difference between teen inpatient and teen outpatient treatment?

While attending a teen outpatient program, your child is in programming during the day or afternoon, and is at home overnight and on weekends. In inpatient treatment, teens live on-site at a residential location while receiving treatment. Both residential treatment and the highest level of outpatient care (a Partial Hospitalization Program, or PHP) typically include an academic component. If your teen needs more than outpatient programming, we encourage you to learn more about our residential treatment and contact us to determine the best fit for your child.

What’s the difference between a PHP, an IOP, and outpatient services?

The main difference between Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and outpatient services is the amount of time your child spends in treatment. At the PHP day program level, adolescents attend all-day programming, five days a week. The IOP level is usually five afternoons a week, following the client’s attendance at their home school. Outpatient services refer to the lowest level of teen outpatient treatment, with programming provided fewer than five afternoons a week, depending on the client’s and family’s needs and goals.

What happens in outpatient therapy at Newport Academy Santa Monica?

In a teen outpatient program, clients typically have a structured daily schedule that includes individual and group therapy sessions, experiential modalities, and time in the classroom focusing on academics and life skills. Depending on the day and the outpatient program location, teens may be tubing on a nearby river, doing yoga a ropes course, making art or music, doing community service with their peers, or participating in family programs that involve parents and siblings in the healing process.

Is teenage therapy and outpatient adolescent mental health the same?

Teen outpatient treatment encompasses teen therapy and much more. A PHP, IOP, or outpatient services for your child will provide a wide range of therapeutic and academic experiences, while offering a stable and supportive community and addressing the entire family’s needs.
