Mental Health Treatment in Houston
Trauma-Informed Therapy & Psychiatry, Built for Real Life
Evidence-based mental health care in Houston for anxiety, depression, trauma, and co-occurring concerns. Structured support without losing your day-to-day life.
Heights Treatment Is Here to Help
Mental health symptoms can look “manageable” until they are not. Sleep falls apart. Work and relationships get harder. Anxiety spikes. Depression narrows your world. Trauma reactions show up in the body as much as the mind.
At The Heights Treatment Center, we provide a structured outpatient model in Houston that combines clinical depth with real-life flexibility. We focus on symptom relief and on the patterns underneath it, including trauma, attachment wounds, nervous system dysregulation, and co-occurring substance use when present.
If you or a loved one is in immediate danger, call 911. If you are concerned about suicide or self-harm, call or text 988 in the U.S.

Stability Is Possible
Our Mental Health Treatment Focus
We treat mental health as whole-person care. That means therapy, skills, psychiatry when appropriate, nervous system regulation, and family support, all working together.
CBT for Anxiety & Depression
Identify unhelpful thought loops, reduce avoidance, and build practical coping strategies you can use immediately.
DBT Skills for Emotional Regulation
Strengthen distress tolerance, reduce impulsive coping, and improve relationships under stress.
Trauma Therapy (EMDR)
Process trauma and reduce triggers that fuel panic, shutdown, dissociation, or emotional overwhelm.
Neurofeedback
Support attention, sleep, and regulation with training-based feedback for the brain and nervous system.
Mindfulness & Nervous System Skills
Reduce racing thoughts, build awareness, and strengthen resilience through daily practice.
Family Support
Strengthen communication, reduce crisis cycles, and align support at home through guided involvement.
For Partners and Loved Ones
Support is available for the whole system, not just one person.
When depression, anxiety, trauma symptoms, mood swings, or shutdown start affecting daily life, families often feel confused, worried, and exhausted. You may be trying to help while also protecting your own stability.
We help loved ones understand what is happening clinically, improve communication, and create clear next steps that support safety, accountability, and progress at home.
What Loved Ones Can Expect
Confidential admissions guidance
We can speak with you about what you are seeing, what level of care may fit, and how to approach a first conversation safely and effectively.
Family education and involvement
We provide structured education, communication support, and guidance on boundaries and accountability. Family involvement is paced based on clinical readiness and safety.
Aftercare and continuity planning
Recovery needs structure after discharge. We build a plan that supports accountability, relapse prevention, and ongoing support for both the client and the family system.
Our Mental Health Treatment Center Programs
This may not be an easy time. The heartache and stress a dual diagnosis condition or substance use disorder brings can be devastating. But that is only how the story starts.
Choosing to reach out for help is the beginning of a journey that is defined by lasting recovery. It’s the beginning of a dedicated and supported path forward to reach a place of hope and healing.
Individualized Intensive Program (IIP)
Our Individualized Intensive Program offers a highly personalized approach to treatment for individuals who need a deeper level of clinical support. With frequent one-on-one sessions, tailored treatment planning, and ongoing clinical oversight, this program is designed to meet clients where they are and adapt as their needs evolve. IIP provides a focused, immersive environment that supports healing from substance use, trauma, and co-occurring mental health conditions while emphasizing long-term stability and growth.
Learn MorePartial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Our Partial Hospitalization Program provides a high level of clinical support for individuals who need daily structure without residential care. Clients participate in comprehensive, full-day treatment while maintaining the ability to return home or supportive housing in the evenings. PHP offers a balanced blend of individual therapy, group work, psychiatric care, and integrative modalities. This level of care is often appropriate as a step down from more intensive treatment or as a primary option for individuals requiring consistent therapeutic engagement to stabilize symptoms and build momentum in recovery.
Learn MoreIntensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
The Intensive Outpatient Program is designed for individuals who are ready for increased independence while still benefiting from structured clinical support. Treatment is provided several days per week, allowing clients to continue therapy while gradually reintegrating into work, school, or family life. IOP emphasizes continued therapeutic progress through group therapy, individual sessions, and ongoing clinical oversight. This level of care supports accountability, skill-building, and sustained emotional regulation while maintaining flexibility within a client’s daily routine.
Learn MoreOutpatient Program (OP)
Our Outpatient Program supports individuals who are transitioning into greater autonomy or who require ongoing therapeutic care at a lower intensity. Clients attend scheduled sessions each week while fully engaging in their personal and professional lives. OP focuses on maintaining progress, reinforcing coping strategies, and addressing challenges as they arise. With continued access to clinical support, this level of care helps individuals sustain recovery, strengthen insight, and build long-term stability.
Learn MoreFAQs About Mental Health Treatment
Answers to common questions clients and families ask when choosing a mental health treatment plan in Houston.
How do I know if I need PHP, IIP, IOP, or weekly outpatient therapy?
The right level depends on safety, symptom severity, functional impairment, and how much structure you need day-to-day. We will do a brief clinical screen and recommend a starting point, often PHP or IIP for stabilization, IOP for structured step-down, and OP for ongoing maintenance.
Do you treat anxiety, depression, trauma, and co-occurring substance use?
Yes. We treat mental health conditions and co-occurring substance use together when present. Our approach addresses symptoms and underlying drivers, including trauma, nervous system dysregulation, relational patterns, and relapse risk. You can also explore Houston Addiction & Mental Health Rehab.
Is psychiatry or medication management available?
Psychiatric evaluation and medication management are available when clinically appropriate. We coordinate therapy and psychiatry so treatment is integrated, not siloed.
What therapies do you offer?
Core services often include evidence-based therapy, skills groups, and adjunctive modalities that support regulation and recovery. Explore: CBT, DBT, EMDR, Neurofeedback, and Mindfulness.
Do you include family support?
When appropriate, yes. Family involvement can reduce crisis cycles and improve outcomes. See Family Support for how we involve loved ones and what to expect.
What should I do if I am worried about immediate safety?
If there is an immediate emergency, call 911. If you are concerned about suicide or self-harm, call or text 988 in the U.S. for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
