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!

Glendora Teen Therapist & Counselors

One of the practices our therapists use during sessions is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). It’s a structured and proven practice for resolving depression and other mental health issues among teens. What’s even more valuable is that EMDR helps teens in other areas of their life, too. Whether it’s improving relationships, boosting academic performance, or managing anxiety.

The purpose of EMDR is clear: it helps teens process unresolved past experiences that are still causing emotional distress. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR doesn’t involve talking through those experiences in detail. Instead, the therapy helps resolve and release traumatic experiences through specific techniques involving eye movement and memory, which are related to the biological mechanisms activated in Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep.

Yet transitioning out of our depression treatment program often reveals remaining fears from past traumas or brings new stressors for teens. That’s why, to support them, we’ve compiled a list of therapists in Glendora who not only perform EMDR. But also other therapies to treat your teen’s mental health issues, including depression. This ongoing care allows teens to process their struggles in a structured environment, fostering resilience and helping them grow stronger with every step forward.

Note: We aren’t affiliated with these therapists. But all of them are licensed by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS), ensuring your teen gets top-notch medical care close to home.

Recreational, Reading Programs, and Parks For Teens In Glendora, CA

Have you ever wondered what goes on at 12 distinct parks, youth sports leagues, recreation, 21 different volunteer opportunities, and community centers in Glendora and why teens must go out there?

A center where teens aren’t just handed a roadmap but are encouraged to draw their own maps. We all want the best for our teens. But you might think, “Why does all this focus on center programs? When my teen seems fine.”

Sometimes, teens feel like they can’t talk to anyone, and stigma and fear of what society will think are among the major reasons they feel depressed. These centers/programs in Glendora provide a non-medical place where teens can settle, connect with their peers, foster social interaction, and build resilience from depression symptoms.

Even a study by NIH clearly states that teens feel less isolated when they are a part of these less stigmatized programs or places (which usually peaks in adolescents). And let’s face it: being a teenager isn’t always a walk in the park. But with the right support, teens can emerge stronger and more confident.

You see, these centers provide services in a culturally sensitive manner with a focus on leisure interests and existing skills that teens are already good at. This means the activities they let teens perform are designed in such a way that:

  • It boosts self-confidence, helping teens stay calm during stressful times and deal with depression.
  • Help teens find their focus and motivation, encouraging them to set and reach personal goals.
  • Teach coping methods, problem-solving, teamwork, sportsmanship, resilience, and how to handle setbacks.

Now, you may question the role of a library and say, “My teen can find anything online,” which is true, but the Glendora public library is more than just books. It offers a peaceful retreat where teens can go without the fear of being judged.

High School Counseling Resources for Glendora Adolescents

When emotional or behavioral struggles start to affect your teen’s school life, high school counselors can play a key role in getting things back on track. These counselors work closely with teachers, parents, and even classmates to better understand what your teen is going through and to provide the right kind of support. Their main goal is to help students manage depression while staying on top of their studies, whether it’s before starting treatment or after completing our in-person depression treatment program.

To help your teen stay mentally healthy and academically steady after leaving our care, we’ve put together a list of local high schools along with their counseling information. Be sure to stay connected with these school-based resources and check in regularly for updates on counseling sessions or mental health programs offered by the Glendora Unified School District.

Note: The high schools mentioned above are solely for informational purposes. Key Healthcare is not affiliated with them. In curating our list of schools, we considered a wide array of factors, including test scores, equity, feedback from parents, and the school curricula.

Find Your Teenager's Fitness Flow in Glendora, CA

In our teen program, surf therapy is one of the most beneficial approaches we offer to treat depression in adolescents. We include it in our program because the natural rhythm of the ocean has a calming effect on the mind. Plus, surfing also encourages focus, movement, and a positive mindset.

Over time, this activity helps teens manage symptoms of depression, reduce stress, and ease anxiety. It also supports the development of self-confidence and emotional strength.

However, healing progress doesn’t end with a few sessions. That’s why we encourage teens to continue staying physically active, whether through surfing or other options like yoga, dance, or gym-based exercise. These activities help them stay emotionally balanced and build on their progress. To support this journey, we’ve compiled a list of fitness resources in Glendora that teens can explore.
