Our Day Program Gives Your Daughter Flexible Support.
Our Day Treatment Program (PHP) provides intensive therapeutic and academic support for adolescent girls Monday through Friday — with the same clinical team, evidence-based therapies, and individualized care as our residential program. Your daughter gets the focused treatment she needs while coming home to your family each evening.
A Day in the Life at Imperial Healing House
She's struggling, but she's not in crisis
She's stepping down from residential treatment.
Your family needs a more affordable option.
The same expert care — every day
One of the things that makes Imperial's Day Program different is that it's not a separate, scaled-back version of our residential program.
Your daughter works with the same licensed therapists, participates in the same evidence-based treatment modalities, and receives the same individualized attention as our residential students. Her treatment plan includes:
Regular one-on-one sessions with a licensed therapist who knows her story and adjusts her plan as she grows.
Daily process groups and DBT skills groups where she builds connections with peers and practices relational skills in real time.
Weekly family sessions are a core part of the day program. Because your daughter is living at home, family therapy takes on even greater importance — you're practicing new skills together every single evening.
Equine therapy, jiu-jitsu, yoga, art, and music aren't extras. They're essential parts of healing that help your daughter process emotions, build confidence, and develop coping skills she'll carry for life.
Our team coordinates with your daughter's prescriber to ensure her medication plan is working and adjusted as needed throughout treatment.
School doesn't stop
Academic support is built into every day of the program. Your daughter attends our Cognia-accredited academic program alongside residential students, which means her credits transfer directly to her home school.
For many girls in our day program, school has become a source of anxiety, avoidance, or failure. Our small class sizes and teaching mentors help her rebuild her relationship with learning in a low-pressure, supported environment.
Whether she needs credit recovery, is ahead of her grade level, or just needs help getting back on track after a rough stretch, we meet her where she is.
We coordinate with your daughter's home school to make sure her academic plan aligns with what she needs for a smooth transition back — whether that's next semester or next year.
Family healing happens in real time
Here's something unique about the day program: because your daughter comes home each evening, your family becomes the practice ground for everything she's learning in therapy.
That DBT skill she worked on this morning? She's using it at the dinner table tonight. The boundary she set in group therapy? She's testing it with her siblings this weekend.
The communication tool you learned in family therapy? You're using it in real time, not in a hypothetical.
Weekly Family Therapy
You and your daughter will work with a therapist together every week. These sessions focus on rebuilding communication, processing pain, and learning how to support each other through the healing process.
Parent Empowerment Classes
These classes give you the tools to hold space for your daughter's growth — even on the hard days.
You're not just a visitor in your daughter's healing journey. You're an active participant — every single day.
How we approach healing
Your daughter isn't a diagnosis. She's a complex, capable young woman who is struggling — and she needs more than just talk therapy to heal. Our approach integrates clinical therapy, physical wellness, creative expression, and family work because lasting change doesn't happen in a vacuum. It happens when every part of her life is supported.
Many of the girls who come to Imperial have experienced trauma — whether that's a single event, ongoing stress, or relational wounds that built up over time. Our entire team is trained to understand how trauma affects the brain and behavior. That means your daughter won't be punished for trauma responses. She'll be met with understanding, taught new skills, and empowered to build a different relationship with her emotions.
We use a model grounded in the stages of change — which simply means we meet your daughter wherever she is in her readiness. Some girls arrive angry and resistant. That's okay. Our team knows how to build trust with girls who don't want to be here yet. We don't force breakthroughs. We create the conditions for them.
