Reston Mental Health Center at Sandstone Care

Sandstone Care Reston Mental Health Center, in Reston, VA, treats depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health conditions in teens ages 13-17 and young adults ages 18-35. The program uses evidence-based, age-specific care that addresses the challenges unique to each age group. Levels of care include a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP), both based near Washington, D.C.

Address Mental Health Conditions with Age-Specific Care

Sandstone Care maintains a 1:8 therapist-to-client ratio so clients and families receive close attention throughout treatment. Clinicians treat depression, anxiety, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and borderline personality disorder (BPD). Each level of care combines individual therapy, group therapy, group activities, and psychoeducation, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).

Choose Flexible Day Treatment and Intensive Outpatient Care

The partial hospitalization program (PHP) meets 5 days a week for 5 hours a day and typically lasts 4 weeks. Clients then step down to the intensive outpatient program (IOP), which meets 3 to 4 days a week for around 12 hours of weekly treatment. Teens and young adults also receive academic and vocational support from a dedicated advisor, who helps with school, career planning, and future goals.

Build Ongoing Recovery with Family Support

Licensed clinicians, medical providers, therapists, and academic support staff work directly with parents and loved ones throughout treatment. Families attend weekly multi-family groups, and individual family therapy meets every other week to address boundaries, communication, and emotional expression. After treatment, clients can join an alumni community that meets regularly and offers ongoing connection to local mental health resources.
