Who We Help
How We Help
Edgewood provides a range of services tailored to your needs to help you achieve your goals. From personalized care plans to various therapeutic options, we’re dedicated to supplying the resources you need to thrive.
When your child or foster placement is in crisis, we’re here. Our Crisis Stabilization Unit can assess and stabilize young people between the ages of 6 and 17 (or as young as 5 if medically appropriate) experiencing acute psychiatric symptoms or a mental health crisis.
Our residential or partially residential programs, focused on youth ages 12-17, are designed to stabilize a young person in crisis, increase safety, and decrease high risk behaviors.
We’re here for you and your family after an emotional crisis. After a young person is stabilized, our Intensive Outpatient Services (IOS) provides supervision, monitoring, and support.
Edgewood’s Therapy and Assessment Clinic offers one-to-one therapy, family therapy, and psychological assessment services for youth, young adults, and their families in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Edgewood clinicians listen, observe, and provide guidance to youth individually or in a group setting. Our goal is to give youth the tools and support to manage their mental health and wellbeing. We also provide mental health care to caregivers and families, recognizing that their wellbeing is intimately tied to a young person’s recovery.
We assess your child’s mental health needs and advise therapeutic approaches
Our psychiatric team conducts thorough evaluations to determine whether therapy, medication, or a combination of both will best support their stability and progress.
