Intensive behavioral health services (IBHS)
Therapy where it’s needed most
Milestone Behavioral Health is eager to provide vital care through IBHS, a unique therapeutic program that enables our clinicians to help children and their families across all settings, including but not limited to, school, community, and in the home.
We invite children and youth between the ages of 3 and 18 who have emotional or behavioral issues to take part in our intensive behavioral health support program, focusing on the child’s strengths and resiliency. Our IBHS program provides individualized, inclusive counseling and behavioral management services. The ultimate goal is to stabilize the child through in-depth interactions and active involvement of all resources and supports in the child’s life, which could be the parents, caregivers, neighbors, role models or other members of the family. The support system for the child is highly recommended to embrace and engage in the treatment process.

Our treatment teams of behavioral health professionals, which can consist of a Behavioral Consultant, Mobile Therapist and a Behavioral Health Technician, offers your child the tools to succeed within their educational and living environment.

Our programs are individually designed to include multiple disciplines in an effort to address the specific and unique challenges of the child. This tailored approach ensures we are delivering the vital therapeutic treatment needed.
