Compassionate therapy and psychiatric care designed specifically for teens. We help young people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, school stress, and life transitions with evidence-based treatment.
Adolescence is a time of significant change and growth. Many teens struggle with anxiety, depression, school stress, relationship challenges, and identity questions. These struggles are real and deserve professional support.

At Vital Health, we understand that childhood and adolescence are critical periods for mental health development. Our youth behavioral health programs in Maumee and Toledo, Ohio are specifically designed for children and teens ages 5 through 17 who are struggling with emotional, behavioral, or psychological challenges. Whether your child is dealing with anxiety that prevents them from attending school, depression that has changed their personality, trauma from adverse childhood experiences, or behavioral issues that are affecting their relationships and academic performance, our specialized team is here to help.
Our youth services include Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) that work around school schedules, Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) for more intensive needs, individual therapy with licensed clinicians trained in child and adolescent development, family therapy to strengthen communication and relationships, school-based services delivered on campus at partner schools, and psychiatric evaluation and medication management when clinically appropriate. We also offer summer behavioral health programs and crisis intervention for urgent situations.
What sets Vital Health apart is our relationship-based approach. We do not just treat symptoms — we build genuine connections with young people and their families. Our clinicians use evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-focused interventions, play therapy for younger children, and motivational interviewing for adolescents. Every treatment plan is individualized based on a comprehensive assessment of the child's strengths, challenges, family dynamics, and goals.
Vital Health accepts Ohio Medicaid, Medicare, and most commercial plans. Coverage depends on the specific plan and service. Verify insurance before services begin.
