Therapeutic
ProgramAll aspects of our program are integrated and designed to be therapeutic in purpose.
The Therapeutic Milieu created at Diamond Ranch facilitates the change process. Students are on a journey of emotional self-discovery and learning at all times throughout the program.
All of our Doctorate or Masters level therapists are professionally licensed with the State of Utah as Mental Health Professionals.
Therapists are required to meet continuing education and training requirements to maintain their licenses and level of expertise.
Clinicians & StaffWe have a full staff of experienced, caring, Licensed Mental Health professionals who oversee the treatment of students. Therapists conduct individual, family, and groups sessions with students.
Therapists oversee case managers who facilitate parent visits, psychoeducational groups, and other components of the program.
Students who enter the program with substance abuse issues receive individual and group therapeutic support. These students attend weekly 12 step meetings and work through an individualized chemical dependence program with their assigned therapist.
