About Adolescent Mental Health
Adolescent Mental Health is a virtual mental health treatment program in Laguna Hills, California, working exclusively with teenagers ages 12 to 17. Its care centers on a virtual intensive outpatient program, with outpatient and telehealth services delivered online, using evidence-based therapies such as CBT and DBT alongside individual, group, and family sessions. What sets it apart is how much structured support it packs into a format families can access from home.
How does Adolescent Mental Health’s virtual IOP for teens work?
Adolescent Mental Health’s virtual intensive outpatient program is built for teens who need more than the usual one hour of therapy a week but do not require a hospital or residential stay. The program delivers roughly 9 to 20 hours of therapy per week over secure video, with sessions scheduled around school and family life. Admissions typically happen within 24 to 48 hours, which matters for a family watching a teen’s anxiety or depression escalate.
A defined parent coaching track runs alongside the teen’s sessions, so parents are part of the process rather than left in the waiting room. Every teen starts with a full intake assessment that sets goals and shapes an individualized plan.
What teen mental health conditions does Adolescent Mental Health treat online?
The program treats anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, OCD, insomnia, bipolar disorder, and self-harming behaviors, with dual-diagnosis support when substance use co-occurs. It also addresses school avoidance directly, offering academic reintegration strategies to help anxious teens return to the classroom. Delivering care virtually removes the transportation and scheduling barriers that often keep families from consistent treatment.
Adolescent Mental Health serves teens and families across California through its online platform and works with major insurance plans, with benefits verified before treatment begins.
Families can call to arrange a free consultation and learn whether the program is the right fit for their teen.

Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
