Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Treatment Centers in 92007

Evolve San Diego treats teens ages 12-17 struggling with mental health, addiction or behavioral issues. We specialize in teen depression, anxiety, trauma, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, conduct disorder, ADHD, personality disorders, dual diagnoses, suicidality and other issues. Many of our teens have difficulty regulating emotions and are engaging in high-risk/self-harm behaviors. Evolve's team of highly qualified, licensed clinicians and medical professionals utilize evidence-based approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to teach teens practical skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and improved impulse control. Through individual therapy, family therapy, group sessions, psychiatry, parent support, and experiential therapies (including art, music, yoga, fitness and more), your child will learn ways to manage stress, communicate appropriately, and lead a more fulfilled, productive life. Our programs are suited for teens who need a higher level of care than weekly psychotherapy, or for those looking for an appropriate transition from residential/inpatient treatment. 

Crownview Co-Occurring Institute (CCI) in San Diego offers the latest and most effective mental health and dual diagnosis treatment.

This approach is grounded in the understanding that simultaneous treatment of these intertwined issues is the most effective solution. It is this evidence-based integrated treatment model that sets us apart—and helps us to transform lives.

At Evolve, we provide the highest caliber of evidence-based residential treatment for children and adolescents ages 12-17 struggling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, dual diagnosis, self-harming or high-risk behaviors, suicidality, aggression, trauma, and other emotional/behavioral issues. Our primary modes of treatment are Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy integrated with Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Behavioral Activation, and other data-driven modalities. We believe treatment works best when it is individually tailored. Our clinical staff conducts a comprehensive evaluation of each teen pre- and post-admission in order to develop a detailed treatment plan that considers the client’s individual history and symptoms. Our robust clinical program includes individual and family therapy, psychiatry, academic support, and daily groups (on DBT Skills Training, Anger Management, Relapse Prevention, and Seeking Safety). Children and teens also participate in experiential therapies: equine-assisted therapy, music, art, fitness, yoga, and more. We also offer 12-Step/ SMART Recovery programs for those struggling with dual diagnoses or addiction.

Centered Ground began providing radically open dialectical behavior therapy (RO-DBT) in 2014, the first in Southern California to offer this groundbreaking approach. Directed by Dr. Angela Klein, part of the first intensively trained U.S. cohort completed by treatment developer Dr. Thomas Lynch, Centered Ground remains the only intensively trained program in the San Diego area. RO-DBT is the most current adaptation of traditional DBT for individuals who struggle with patterns overcontrolled behavior and emotional inhibition, including restricting eating disorders (e.g., anorexia nervosa), pervasive anxiety disorders, and chronic depression. RO DBT provides psychoeducation and tools to address the underlying neurobiology behind these patterns, to facilitate greater self-understanding, compassion, and desired connection in relationships. The program is based on the research of Dr. Thomas Lynch over the past 20 years. Skills training occurs in a weekly two-hour class, as well as private sessions. In 2018 Mia Najor joined the team, completing intensive training, as well.

While it’s sometimes mistaken for perfectionism or germaphobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a serious mental health condition that is typically diagnosed in adolescence. It can cause extreme distress and anxiety and interfere with every aspect of a teen’s daily life. Newport Academy provides tailored treatment plans to heal the underlying causes and symptoms of OCD in teenagers. Our OCD programming for adolescents also addresses common issues that occur alongside OCD, such as generalized anxiety disorder, body dysmorphia, social anxiety, and panic disorders. Our OCD treatment incorporates Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, considered the gold standard of care for OCD. In addition, our teen treatment plans for OCD include psychiatric care and medication management, family therapy, experiential activities like art and music therapy and outdoor adventures, and a robust academic component.
