Princeton House Extends Adolescent Outpatient Service to All Genders
A Princeton House Behavioral Health outpatient service that provided care for thousands of teen girls since its launch five years ago is now open to all genders.
The service, located in Princeton, has always specialized in the needs of teens dealing with trauma, emotional dysregulation, and emotional eating.
“These issues are not limited to adolescent girls,” said Jody Kashden, PhD, Clinical Director of Child and Adolescent Services. “By opening these specialized treatment programs to all genders we are able to help more young people.”
Princeton House Behavioral Health offers treatment services for individuals age 13 to 17 who are having trouble functioning at school, at home, or with peers as a result of emotional/behavioral problems, substance abuse issues, or both.
Care is available at the partial hospital (six hours a day, five days per week) and intensive outpatient (three hours a day, three days per week) levels at Princeton House locations in Hamilton, Moorestown, North Brunswick, and Princeton.
In Princeton, the program offers treatment methods specifically tailored to the needs of teens:
