Sacramento Teenage Counseling and Mental Health Statistics

Mental Health America’s 2025 rankings show that 1 in every 5 California teens had a major depressive episode during the year, and 13 percent of youth had serious thoughts of suicide. Despite this growing need, however, more than 60 percent of youth with depression did not receive any California mental health services.

That translates to 346,000 California teens with major depression who receive no treatment at all. 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.

Teenage Counseling in Sacramento with a Family Focus

We prioritize family involvement in care to drive exceptional outcomes. When the family into the treatment process, clients and parents/caregivers can rebuild trust and learn new, healthier ways of communicating.

In addition, clients learn they can turn to family for support when they’re struggling, rather than falling back on old, self-destructive habits. Our research shows that family connection gets stronger throughout our treatment, and continues to flourish after discharge.

Experiential Modalities at our Sacramento Adolescent Mental Health Treatment Center

Experiential activities at our Sacramento location may include art, music, yoga, meditation, and outdoor activities in the area’s parks and hiking trails.

Teens in our Sacramento outpatient program explore underlying issues prompting their risky or self-destructive behavior. Our treatment guides them to make changes that enhance their well-being, while our family therapy component helps parents and teens build stronger relationships.

Sacramento 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 Sacramento?

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.
