Located near Old Town Middle School and just off Interstate 55 in Ridgeland, this center supports teens ages 13-18 and adults through an intensive outpatient program (IOP) focused on trauma, marijuana use, and mental health needs. Structured group therapy anchors care, while individual sessions, family involvement, and peer support reinforce coping skills, consistency, and daily stability.

Integrating Therapy with Mindfulness

Their treatment approach at Essential Touchstones combines evidence-based therapy with body-aware practices that build emotional regulation and insight. Services include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), internal family systems (IFS) therapy, trauma-focused groups, mindfulness practices, yoga, and psychiatric medication management that supports co-occurring mental health needs.

Expanding Learning Beyond Therapy

Essential Touchstones’ programs include a dedicated adolescent IOP track, an adult trauma-focused program, and a structured Brief Marijuana Intervention. The Safe Dates program course helps adolescents build healthy relationship skills by teaching boundaries, communication, and violence prevention through guided education. Its family education, peer support, nutrition consultation, and trauma-informed massage therapy further reinforce learning and engagement.
