About Key Healthcare

Teen Healing Insights

Key Healthcare is an amazing teen residential treatment program. Our son was struggling with marijuana addiction, serious anxiety, depression, was not listening, and had no motivation. We have tried 2 other teen therapy options, but Key Healthcare is what our son has responded to the best by far. Their teen inpatient program has a really cool and inviting environment, with really great therapists, and the staff were all very friendly, and caring. The family therapy sessions were very valuable to our family as well. My son didn’t feel like he was going to therapy when he was at key healthcare. They provided educational structure for him to get his schoolwork done and he took part in group therapy which he spoke positively about.
 
key healthcare residential program reviewer justin b
Really great therapists and staff at this teen treatment program. Very nice inpatient facility, I highly recommend Key Healthcare for families of teenagers dealing with mental health issues or depression.
key healthcare residential treatment program california reviewer
I highly recommend key healthcare to any family that has a teen struggling. Friend of mine sent their teen to the teen residential program, which drastically helped their son, and family life. We ended up sending our daughter to key healthcare’s iop as well and she got an extremely high level of therapy, which she resonated with. We saw a huge shift in our daughter after she completed their teen rehab.
As a treatment professional, I am so grateful for the team at Key! My students have found the mentoring/coaching services to be so incredibly supportive. The mentors are so good at connecting with students, engaging them in positive healthy activities and steering them towards building healthy skills. The parent coaching adds such a strong element. When combined with inpatient therapy. Thanks to all the team at Key!

High School Counseling Resources for Coronado Adolescents

When your teen is struggling with depression, school can feel overwhelming. Paying attention in class, finishing homework, and participating in school can feel like too much. They might experience tiredness, loneliness, or anxiety around others. That’s why school counselors play such an important role in helping your teen heal.

These counselors offer understanding, support, and guidance. They work with parents, teachers, and school staff to make school more manageable for your teen, whether by giving extra time on assignments, offering a quiet space to talk, or helping them access mental health support at school.

At Key Healthcare, we know how helpful school counselors can be, both before treatment and after your teen returns to school. A counselor can reassure your teen that they’re not alone and that it’s okay to ask for help.

To make it easier, we’ve put together a list of Coronado high schools and counselor contacts. We also encourage teens to join mental health workshops offered by schools or the Coronado Unified School District. Reaching out to a school counselor might seem like a small step, but it can help your teen feel more supported, strong, and ready to move forward.

At Key Healthcare, music therapy plays an essential role in our teen depression treatment program because it provides teens with a creative way to express their emotions in a healthy and calming way. For teens struggling with depression, expressing their feelings can often feel overwhelming. Music therapy offers a powerful outlet for self-expression, allowing teens to connect with their emotions through music, whether by playing instruments or creating their own soundscapes.

In each session, teens engage in different musical activities, learning to tune into their emotions without being overwhelmed. They begin to realize that emotions like sadness, anger, or anxiety are natural and can be expressed through music, giving them a sense of control.

Music therapy also helps build emotional resilience and boosts confidence. It gives teens a safe space to release tension, improve their mood, and develop habits that support their mental and emotional well-being as they recover from depression.

After completing our depression treatment program, staying active with music or other creative outlets is important for your teen’s continued recovery. To make it easier, we’ve put together a list of teen-friendly wellness activities in Coronado, so your teen can keep growing, feeling strong, and moving forward with confidence.
