How Can Teen Behavioral Therapy Help?
In 2022, over 87,000 teens in Texas reported substance use within the last year. While this number is the sixth highest out of all fifty-one states and provinces, Texas is almost dead last at number fifty-one for teens who seek mental health treatment.[1]
Equally troubling is that more than 64% of teens today feel the world they’re growing up in is more stressful than their parents experienced.[2] This is what the up-and-coming generation thinks of their experiences.
These are the things that matter when considering teen behavioral health treatment. Undesirable behaviors could be due to life transitions, past trauma, academic pressure, family dysfunction, or substance use. Struggling with one or more can quickly become too much to cope with.Â
In order to effectively treat teen behavioral health issues, treatment must be aligned with what teenagers experience. Their unique needs must be identified and addressed to treat underlying mental and emotional concerns.Â
At BasePoint Academy, our expert professional providers are committed to being a resource for families and a catalyst for teen transformation. By bridging the gap in Texas teen mental health treatment, our teen patients are empowered to grow and overcome.Â
We help teens learn to bounce back from adversity and reduce or eliminate undesirable behaviors. Let’s take this journey together.Â

Working With A Teen Behavioral Treatment Center
Teen behavioral health is a psychiatry-based treatment incorporating a custom blend of mental health therapies, behavioral therapies, resiliency training, and coping skill development.
Â
Behavioral therapy aims to understand underlying triggers and causes of undesirable behavior and create more sustainable pathways to consistent, desirable behaviors. Behavior modification is essential, but without diving deeper into why it’s happening, the potential for the behavior to return is much higher.
Working With A Teen Behavioral Treatment Center
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.

Teen Resiliency: BasePoint Academy’s Signature Program
Resiliency is the capacity to recover from difficulties and bounce back from adversity. While this is something we all possess, it is a skill that must be developed. Developing resiliency is critical to the treatment and recovery process in order to facilitate true and lasting change.[3]

Group Therapy
Peer pressure can be positive. When treating teen substance use, it’s imperative. By leveraging the positive influence of a circle of goal-oriented peers, teens will learn from one another’s experiences. Together, they will encourage and compel one another into healthier habits.

Academic Support
Receiving treatment should not mean that teens suffer academically. At BasePoint Academy, we have established relationships with local schools, school boards, and education counselors who work closely with our teens to ensure they don’t fall behind.

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.
