Start with what you are facing below, or explore each therapy on its own page.

Not Sure Which Therapy Fits
Start with one confidential conversation. Then, we can explain the options, arrange an assessment when appropriate, and help you understand the next step without pressure.
Start Confidentially
Tell us a little about what is going on and the best way to reach you. A member of our admissions team will follow up personally and walk you through next steps. Please do not include sensitive medical details in the form.
Common Questions
You do not have to decide. A clinical assessment identifies what is driving the problem, and your treatment plan names which therapies fit and why. If a different approach would serve you better, we say so.
Yes, and most people do. The combination and the order are clinical decisions made with you, not a menu you select from.
No. These therapies are delivered through our structured programs, from the Individualized Intensive Program through PHP, IOP, and Evening IOP, and through coordinated individual therapy. An assessment determines the right setting and combination for you. Start with a confidential conversation with our admissions team.
Heights Behavioral Health is a private-pay, out-of-network practice. We provide superbills so you can pursue out-of-network reimbursement if your plan offers it, and we can verify your benefits before you commit. See our admissions page.
Many talk-based therapies can be delivered by telehealth in Texas. Body-based and experiential work such as equine therapy and neurofeedback are in-person by nature. We will tell you which parts of your plan require attendance.
