We offer specialized mental health treatment services for adolescents and young adults with a primary focus on mental health challenges such as crisis, trauma, loss, and developmental difficulties.Community West clients receive at least one individual psychotherapy session each day they are in treatment provided by licensed clinicians with years of post-graduate experience. Our emphasis on individual attention is balanced by community involvement through dynamic group experiences, family therapy, and experiential activities.TREATMENT SPECIALTIES:- Anxiety- Depression- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)- Trauma- Self-Harm- Post Traumatic Stress (PTSD)- Dissociation- Family Conflict- Bipolar Disorder- Failure to Launch- Emotional Dysregulation- Borderline Personality- Dual-Diagnosis (Secondary Substance Abuse and Disordered Eating)SPECIALIZED PROGRAMS:- Our Foundations Program provides a comprehensive set of interventions tailored to the specific needs of our adolescent clients (ages 13-17) including psychodynamic psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, and experiential activities.- Our OCD/Anxiety Program for adolescents (ages 13-17) utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP) to treat OCD, phobias, panic disorder, and school refusal.

Our goal is to help each individual to understand how he or she can be most successful. We specialize in evaluating diagnoses related to learning based disorders and disabilities, attention-based disorders (ADHD), social/emotional functioning, and executive functioning. We work with children, adolescents, and adults offering comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations, psychological and educational testing, as well as consultation services for educators, learning specialists, and psychologists.
