Adolescent behavioral Care

At Mile High Behavioral Healthcare, we believe adolescence is a critical time for developing social and emotional habits essential for mental well-being. These include adopting healthy sleep patterns, exercising regularly, developing coping, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills, and learning to manage emotions. MHBHC offers individual and family services, group meetings, and experiential-based treatment and activities to support mental well-being in adolescents.   

We understand that adolescence is a time of volatile emotions and boundary-testing behavior as individuals explore and assert personal identity, learn to navigate peer relationships, and transition to independence. At Mile High Behavioral Healthcare, we offer two tracks of care. We meet the adolescents where they are in their developmental stage of exploration during the teenage years.
