About Charis Behavioral Health
Located in Bicentennial Park near the DFW Airport, Charis Behavioral Health offers treatment for adolescents ages 12-17, combining comprehensive mental health assessments, medication management, individual and group therapy, and holistic therapies such as meditation and mindfulness, yoga, and animal therapy. Conditions treated include depression, anxiety, ADHD, and trauma as well as behavioral concerns like self harm, defiance, truancy, and substance use. Charis Behavioral Health is not an in-network insurance provider, but works with families to explore insurance benefits and seeks to remove financial barriers to treatment. Charis offers pick-up and drop-off for teens in the DFW area while in treatment.
Assessments help inform providers at Charis Behavioral Health on how to treat each individual client. Assessments include a psychological assessment performed by a licensed psychologist, bloodwork, and sleep evaluation. These assessments give providers a holistic view of clients’ physical and mental functioning.
Charis offers an intensive outpatient program (IOP) and day treatment.

Charis Unplugged is a day treatment option held outside of DFW in a ranch setting with access to therapy animals like horses, goats, dogs, and more. In all programs, clients have the opportunity to complete school work, with the understanding that keeping up in school is essential to mental health for teens. In addition to
