The Princeton outpatient site now accepts teens of all genders to its Adolescent Program, formerly called the Teen Girls Program. The Adolescent Program will continue to offer the following treatment modalities for teens ages 13 to 17:

“Mental health conditions are not gender specific, and there is a need for behavioral health services among all teens in our area, including transgender and gender-nonconforming teens,” says Gregorio Castillo, MD, staff psychiatrist and board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist at the outpatient Adolescent Program at Princeton. 

“Early diagnosis and treatment of behavioral health issues in teens can make a real difference in their lives,” he adds. “In fact, it can change their whole mental health trajectory. It’s a privilege to help position them for greater success in life.”



Princeton House Behavioral Health offers services for adolescents at multiple locations at the partial hospital and intensive outpatient levels of care. For more information, visit princetonhouse.org/teens or call 888.437.1610.
