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 Lemoore Adolescents

When your teen is battling depression, school can become one of the toughest environments. Staying engaged in class and completing assignments can feel like challenging tasks. They may experience exhaustion, disconnection, or anxiety around others. This is why school counselors are so important in supporting your teen’s healing process.

These dedicated professionals offer a listening ear, understanding, and practical help. They collaborate with you, teachers, and staff to reduce pressure, whether that means adjusting deadlines, providing a safe space for conversations, or helping your teen access mental health support at school.

At Key Healthcare, we’ve seen the decisive role that school counselors play in a teen’s recovery, before treatment, and when they return to school. A supportive counselor can remind your teen that they are not alone and that seeking help is a sign of strength.

To help, we’ve put together a list of high schools in Lemoore and counselor contacts. We also recommend that teens get involved in mental health workshops hosted by schools or the Lemoore Unified School District. Reaching out to a counselor might feel like a small step, but it can provide comfort, strength, and hope as your teen continues to move forward.

Find Your Teenager's Fitness Flow in Lemoore, CA

At Key Healthcare, we make yoga therapy a vital part of our teen depression treatment program because it helps teens reconnect with themselves in a peaceful, healthy way. For many teens dealing with depression, quieting the mind or feeling at ease can be a major challenge. Yoga provides gentle movements and deep breathing exercises that relieve stress and create room for healing.

During each yoga session, teens learn to tune into their emotions without becoming overwhelmed. They begin to understand that emotions like sadness or anxiety can come and go, and it’s okay to sit with those feelings rather than fighting them.

Yoga also strengthens emotional resilience and self-confidence. It gives teens a safe environment to release tension, feel more balanced, and cultivate habits that support their mental and physical health as they work through depression.

Staying active after treatment is key to continued recovery. Whether your teen sticks with yoga or tries another form of exercise, we aim to help them stay supported. That’s why we’ve gathered a list of teen-friendly wellness activities in Lemoore, so your teen can keep growing, feeling strong, and moving forward with confidence.
