About Insight
Insight treatment program specializes in treating teens ages 13-19 years old suffering from mental health conditions such as depression, aniziety, trauma, and ADHD. Insight also treats behavioral issues including self-harm, addictive behaviors, aggression, or isolation. Insight provides support for not only the teen, but the entire family.

The program is in a creative clubhouse environment where teens can play games, feel comfortable, and build positive relationships with peers. Insight uses a multi-modality approach. The overall program empowers teens through personal growth and developing vital life skills. After school, teens will take part in 3-4 hours of intensive therapy. Therapies can include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), art therapy, gestalt therapy, 12-Step facilitation, meditation and mindfulness, and family counseling. Since the Covid-19 outbreak, Insight has recognized the spike in issues like feelings of isolation and resistance to rules and authority, and they are currently offering free virtual resources and zoom meetings for parents and select private schools. Mental health professionals are available to help, and they offer 2 hour telehealth parent support meetings.
Insight has 5 different locations in the Los Angeles, California area. Each place provides a fun environment for teens. Most buildings are transformed warehouses that have video games, foosball, ping pong tables, and a workout area. Insight is accredited by CARF and accepts most private insurance.
