  • This is where we thoroughly evaluate your teen’s medical history and cultural background and conduct psychological tests to understand their mental health and behavior.

  • The results of this assessment will help us create the best treatment plan for your teen.

Truckee Teen Therapists & Counselors

At Key Healthcare, we utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help your teen address their mental health and substance use challenges. And our therapists work closely with teens to help them become aware of irrational or negative thinking so they can see situations clearly.

This clear understanding allows them to approach situations more positively. Through CBT, teenagers learn to manage their anger outbursts, impulsive actions, and defiant behavior.

They learn new ways to replace negative emotions with new coping mechanisms, which helps them get better in the long run. And because we’re invested in your teen’s recovery, we’ve compiled a list of nearby counselors in Truckee who specialize in CBT.

While our residential program equips teens with tangible ways to take control and empower themselves, these professionals can provide ongoing support and emotional tools, ensuring teens keep building on the progress they’ve made during treatment.

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 care close to home.
