Working With A Teen Psychiatrist In Forney
According to NAMI, less than half of modern-day teens (48%) regularly talk to their parents or guardians about mental health concerns.[2] They could be held back by fear, a lack of knowledge, or a sense of hopelessness.
Be open with your teens and talk to them about their mental health every day or every week. A teen psychiatrist can help your teen identify, understand, and address unhealthy thinking and feeling processes that lead to problematic behavior.Â
Working with a teen psychiatrist, your teen gets direct access to practical resources and support that help them build a better life.Â
By offering comprehensive assessments and care, BasePoint Academy operates in collaboration with teens and families to facilitate healing and recovery. Offering the highest levels of teen-specific treatment, evidence-based therapy, and teen counseling, we’re making treatment practical and accessible.
Working With A Teen Psychiatrist In Forney​
At first, I thought this place would be horrible, and then I started to love it here. I loved my transportation rides with my driver Paul. We always had something to talk about, and he was very relatable and reliable. All the staff members are fun, nice and listen to you. I had a very great time here, and I got to meet a lot of great people, leaving this place I am a better version of myself.

Group Therapy
No matter what stage of life we’re in, learning from our peers is a way of life. This is especially true for teens. Experiencing positive peer pressure in a guided treatment setting can help ignite change and create lasting bonds.

Angela ElskeBasepoint was amazing. My daughter was treated so well and she got the exact help she needed to feel better. I would recommend this facility to anyone whose child needs help with their mental health!

Rebecca WindersIf you are looking for mental health treatment or counseling for your teen look no further than BasePoint Academy! Their team truly cares about patient success, and have developed a program specifically designed to help teens and adolescents recover from debilitating mental health conditions.

Kathy SullivanThe staff was professional and courteous. I highly recommend the services through Base Point if you ever need this level of care for your teen.

Chris AndrewsIt can be challenging to find compassion in any service industry this day in age. The staff of BasePoint Academy exhibit genuine care about restoring the mental health of youth. One of the most important steps in helping your child, is to find practitioners who care. This is a great step.
La Tonya DavisonThe excellent care our family received here will be a lasting gift! We needed personal attention and specific therapy methods that they met in multiple ways. The professional staff, from the doctors to the therapists to the techs (and all others), knew exactly how to help us through an important transition in life. I’ll always be grateful for devoted perspective and unparalleled expertise.
Christian FosterI can’t say enough good things about Basepoint! The staff, every step of the way, are caring and supportive. Katey, especially, has been an outstanding community partner and resource. The counselors go above and beyond. I’ve referred several patients/clients, even a family member and close friend because I know they’ll be in good hands. Basepoint will always be my go to referral for excellent and compassionate care!
KendraBasePoint does a wonderful job of supporting students and families during a difficult time. They have a great treatment program and a wonderful school component built. I appreciate all the support given to Frisco ISD students.
Elizabeth HembyThey have an exceptional team and program. I worked with their Director of Interventional Psychiatry, Dr. Rita McCallan, at another facility. She is a caring and compassionate provider. She’s an excellent addition to their executive team. Their teen outpatient program provides top notch behavioral health services while tending to their education needs. Another aspect of this program I really like is that the Medical Director, Dr. Kimberly Robbins, is on site and specifically there to meet the medical needs of the teens.
