The Dorm, Washington, D.C. is a CARF-accredited young adult IOP/PHP mental health treatment community exclusively dedicated to helping 18–30-year-olds who feel “stuck” launch independent, purposeful lives. The program is proudly family-owned and since 2009 has helped clients navigate a wide range of mental health challenges, from depression and trauma to borderline personality disorder and psychosis. They are known as an affirming community: 53% of the client population is neurodiverse and 50% identify as LGBTQ+.

Individualized and Flexible for Young Adult Life

The Dorm’s daytime programming is exclusively available in-person and is personalized and flexible with no two schedules that are the same. AM/PM hours fit around young adult lives and goals, including students' class schedules, internships, and career tracks. Care includes evidence-based therapeutic approaches (DBT, CBT, ACT, ERP, CPT), groups, life skills and executive function support, family programming, nutritional and wellness support, and immersive opportunities for peer connection and belonging.

Experience Care Validated by 7 Years of Outcomes Research

The Dorm’s treatment model is rigorously evidence-based with IRB-backed outcomes that indicate that clients not only experience symptom reduction but develop the skills they need to find success in the future. Clients report 131% improved functional well-being from starting care at The Dorm and 87% of alumni are in school full-time or gainfully employed, living out their dreams and thriving.

Care Options

Levels of Care

Mental health care includes a range of services such as counseling, therapy, medication management, and support groups, all designed to address issues from everyday stress and anxiety to more severe conditions like depression and schizophrenia. These practices are essential for helping individuals manage their emotions, improve their relationships, and navigate life's challenges in healthier, more adaptive ways.
Not included
Residential
Not Offered at This Center
Intensive monitoring and care for conditions like depression, trauma, suicidality, and anxiety. Residential mental health facilities offer a safe setting with activities and structure, plus opportunities to practice life skills and bond with peers.
Included
Day Treatment
In a PHP, patients live at home but follow an intensive schedule of treatment. Most programs require you to be on-site for about 40 hours per week.
Included
Intensive Outpatient Program
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) falls between inpatient care and traditional outpatient services, with therapy and skills-building activities designed to support recovery and provide flexibility. IOP is ideal for those needing support but not the 24/7 care of a residential facility.
Included
Outpatient
Outpatient treatment offers flexible therapeutic and medical care without the need to stay overnight in a hospital or inpatient facility. Outpatient care typically offers a range of therapies and medical interventions individuals can attend alongside daily life.
Not included
Virtual Care
Not Offered at This Center
Therapy and treatment delivered online through video sessions, messaging, or phone calls, so you can get care from anywhere, on a schedule that works for you.
Not included
In-Home Care
Not Offered at This Center
Clinicians come to you, providing treatment and support in the privacy and comfort of your own home.
Included
Licensed Primary Mental Health
Licensed primary mental health facilities provide specialized care for diagnosing and treating mental health conditions. By offering early intervention and comprehensive services, they promote overall well-being and prevent long-term complications.
Included
Co-Occurring Substance Use
Substance use disorders often occur alongside primary mental health conditions. Programs for co-occurring substance use disorders focus on both conditions, tailoring treatment for comprehensive recovery.
