Balance Treatment Center - Visalia

Located a short distance south of the College of the Sequoias, Balance Treatment Center in Visalia offers mental health treatment for children, teens, and adults, including LGBTQ+ clients, through both partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) care. In PHP, clients attend multi-hour daytime treatment sessions before returning home for the night. For those balancing daily life with recovery, IOP delivers structured group therapy throughout the week that fits around jobs, classes, and family obligations.

Paths to Wellness

Guided by the belief that healing happens together, the center addresses depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), gender and sexual identity questions, oppositional defiance, and dual-diagnosis substance use issues. Clients take part in individual therapy, group sessions, and multi-family group therapy. Treatment plans draw from diverse methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), psychodynamic psychotherapy, and mindfulness therapy.

Supporting Unique Journeys

Balance Treatment Center delivers specialized options for youth ages 6–17, new mothers navigating postpartum depression, and military members transitioning back to civilian life. In addition to virtual IOP and an 8-week military transitional IOP, they offer a PHP that typically lasts 3 to 4 weeks. Recovery plans also integrate motivational interviewing (MI), neurofeedback therapy, recreation therapy, nutrition wellness, and stress and health management.
