The Heights Standard

A higher standard of outpatient care

Exceptional treatment is not a single feature. It is the discipline of doing many things well, consistently, for every person who walks through the door. Four commitments define how we work.

Individualized care
Every plan is built around one person’s history, goals, and co-occurring needs, not a fixed curriculum.
Specialized clinicians
Licensed, master’s-level therapists with focused training in addiction, trauma, and compulsive behavior.
Evidence-based and experiential
Proven therapies such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, and Somatic Experiencing, alongside group and experiential work.
Privacy and discretion
Confidential, private-pay care that protects the people who most value their privacy.
Our Flagship
Individualized Intensive Programming

Most programs place everyone on the same schedule. Our flagship Individualized Intensive Programming builds the week around the individual, at the clinical intensity of partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient care, shaped by the pieces each person actually needs. For adults who have tried standard outpatient care and found it too generic, this is often the difference that makes treatment hold.

Expertise

Care led by specialized clinicians

Authority is earned through credentials and real expertise. Our content and our care are led by named, licensed clinicians, not generic staff.

Joni Ogle, LCSW, CSAT
Founder and CEO. A Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist with decades of clinical experience in addiction and compulsive behavior.
Deborah Darnell-Drake, LCSW-S, ACSW, LMFT
Chief Clinical Officer and clinical reviewer. A licensed supervisor and marriage and family therapist who reviews our clinical content for accuracy.

Our team also brings specialized, one-on-one training in Cognitive Processing Therapy for mood and trauma, EMDR, neurofeedback, and Somatic Experiencing, so that care reaches what talk therapy alone sometimes cannot.

How We Treat

Evidence-based, and more than talk

Treatment blends proven clinical methods with experiential work that engages the body and emotions. A typical plan draws from:

Clinical therapies
CBT, DBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Processing Therapy, delivered individually and in groups.
Trauma-focused care
EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and neurofeedback for trauma that drives addiction and mental health symptoms.
Experiential therapy
Equine and art therapy, mindfulness, and guided meditation that reach what words alone cannot.
What We Treat

Adults, and the conditions that travel together

We treat the whole person, because addiction, trauma, and mental health rarely arrive alone.

Substance use
Alcohol, stimulants, opioids, and more, treated as outpatient care.
Process & behavioral addictions
A core specialty: gambling, compulsive sexual behavior, screens, and more.
Co-occurring conditions
Levels of Care

The right intensity, and the freedom to step down

Care is matched to what each person needs to be safe and make progress, then steps down as they stabilize. We offer partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs, all delivered through our individualized model, with virtual options where they fit.

Private-Pay & Discreet
Out-of-network care, with transparency

Heights Behavioral Health is a private-pay, out-of-network provider. That model lets our clinicians build treatment around the client rather than an insurance authorization, and it offers the privacy many of our clients value most. We are upfront about pricing, and some clients use out-of-network benefits to offset part of the cost. Our guide to cost and superbills explains exactly how that works.

The Admissions Experience

Starting is simple and confidential. One conversation with our Houston team leads to a clinical assessment, transparent pricing, and a plan built around you, even if the right next step is somewhere other than here. Learn more about how admissions works.
