Virginia Beach Mental Health Center at Sandstone Care

Sandstone Care Virginia Beach Mental Health Center, in Virginia Beach, 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 in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia.

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). Treatment draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients build lasting coping skills.

Choose Flexible Day Treatment and Intensive Outpatient Care

The partial hospitalization program (PHP) meets 5 days a week for 5 hours a day, offering 25 hours of weekly treatment, and typically lasts about 4 weeks. Clients then step down to the intensive outpatient program (IOP), which meets multiple days a week for around 16 hours of weekly treatment over about 12 weeks. Teens and young adults also receive academic and vocational support from a dedicated advisor.

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.
