Highlights of our program include:

• Friendly staff: You receive services from thoughtful mental health professionals who want to help you. We create a welcoming environment that makes it a little easier to open up. Even on your most challenging days, we are here for you, ready to listen and give you the gentle guidance you need.
• Flexible scheduling: Sessions run a few hours a day for three to five days a week. You can make a therapy schedule that works for you. Get the mental health services you need and attention you deserve while continuing to work or care for your family.

PIW will soon offer outpatient services that help young adults explore their emotions, build coping skills and work through challenges. We use age-appropriate techniques to empower teens and adolescents to thoughtfully navigate life’s difficulties. Services will be available in person and virtually, making it easier to balance treatment with school and other activities.

Asking for help isn’t easy, especially when it comes to your mental health. But reaching out can be the first step toward feeling better. Outpatient programs at PIW provide the structured support you need to move forward.

Our services can help if you:

• Have a serious mental health condition but are not in immediate danger of harming yourself or others
• Can consistently attend sessions and participate in conversations, activities and therapy
• Need assistance recovering from the trauma of grief, abuse or exposure to violence
• Face challenges like navigating a difficult family situation or the stress of losing a job
