A Focus on Family Healing
We understand that mental and emotional well-being extends beyond the individual — it thrives within the context of relationships and family. Our approach to treatment recognizes that healing is most powerful when it involves the entire support system. That's why we offer family therapy for teens in Austin alongside mental health and addiction treatment. Like all our therapies, our family counseling program is led by experts, including marriage and family therapists (LMFTs).
Family counseling involves addressing communication breakdowns, trauma, addiction, or behavioral challenges by incorporating family-focused therapies in our treatment plans. This fosters understanding, rebuilds trust, and strengthens bonds. By engaging loved ones in the therapeutic process through family counseling, we create a foundation for lasting change, ensuring that recovery is not just a personal journey but a shared one.
Alumni Programming
Our alumni programming serves as a bridge between the past and present, creating a sense of belonging and pride. Through alumni programming, clients can continue to be a part of a community that values and supports their growth, creating a lasting connection and camaraderie.
Working With Other Professionals for Comprehensive Care
Not everyone can find all the treatment they need at Alpha Behavioral Health. We believe that everyone deserves quality and compassionate mental health and addiction treatment. For this reason, we work closely with referring professionals to offer families a wide range of support. This includes helping families who require supplementary support or a different level of care find additional services and qualified professionals.
Continuous recovery can only occur when goals are aligned and healthy communication moves freely. Our team is experienced in delicately handling treatment planning, program transitions, and family dynamics. By carefully assessing each client, we ensure that the services offered by Alpha Behavioral Health are tailored to their individual needs and support their healing and recovery.
We Accept Insurance
Alpha Behavioral Health works with most major insurance providers. We are currently in-network with BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, Tricare, Magellan Healthcare, and Aetna. However, we can also work with other insurance providers on an out-of-network basis. Our goal is to help youth, regardless of their insurance situation.
