About This Program

A different approach for adolescents

Adolescent treatment requires a fundamentally different approach than adult programming. Teens are still developing — cognitively, emotionally, and socially — and our program is designed to meet them exactly where they are. We combine evidence-based clinical treatment with hands-on, experiential approaches that actually engage young people.

Parents and guardians are active participants throughout the process. Family sessions, parent education, and regular communication with your family are built into the program — not optional add-ons.

For Parents & Guardians

We know this is one of the hardest phone calls a parent can make. Our team will walk you through every step — what your teen will experience, what you can do to support them, and how family sessions work.

Parent involvement is not optional in our adolescent program — it is a core part of what makes treatment work at this age.

Common Questions

For Parents & Guardians

How long will my teen be in treatment?

We practice person-centered care, which means there is no fixed program length. Treatment continues as long as it is clinically indicated. On average, adolescent clients participate for 4 to 9 months, but your teen’s counselor will work with your family to determine what progress looks like and when stepping down or completing treatment is appropriate.

How involved will I be as a parent?

Very involved — by design. Family participation is a core component of adolescent treatment, not an optional add-on. You’ll have regular family sessions with the clinical team, access to parent education, and ongoing communication about your teen’s progress.

Can my teen join sessions remotely through Lionheart Connect?

Yes. Lionheart Connect is available for adolescent clients. If your teen has a sick day, a scheduling conflict, or transportation isn’t available, they can join their regular group remotely — .

What if school or work schedule conflicts with group times?

We work with families on scheduling during the intake process. Our team can also coordinate with schools when appropriate and clinically indicated. Call us to discuss your teen’s specific schedule before enrollment.

Is most insurance accepted?

Yes. We accept Medical Assistance (MA), MinnesotaCare, most commercial insurance plans, and can work with county funding. Call us at 651-456-8411 and we will verify your coverage before you commit to anything.
