About Us
The Meadows Outpatient Center Adolescent Program in Silicon Valley is based on our time-tested Meadows Model but geared especially for ages 13-17 and their unique treatment needs. Our professional, down-to-earth staff sets a welcoming tone, our facility has a laid-back feel with casual group and individual meeting rooms, our Brain Center, and weekly trivia competitions to make learning fun.
We offer a wide range of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and trauma-informed care, all tailored to engage and support teens. Our programming emphasizes peer support, meaningful interactions with our caring staff, and activities focused on building healthy relationships, relapse prevention, and overall well-being. Weekly offerings like nutritional consultations, trivia competitions, and trauma-sensitive yoga provide a holistic, supportive approach. Our staff’s extensive training in cultural competency and neurodivergence ensures inclusivity in every interaction, helping clients develop respectful, effective communication skills for navigating relationships and society. Oversight by our experienced psychiatrist and psychiatric nurse practitioner further enhances the quality of care.
