A Day in the Life at Imperial Healing House
A Home Away From Home
Imperial Healing House is exactly what the name suggests — a house. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood in Provo, Utah, our home provides a warm, comfortable environment where girls can focus on healing without feeling institutionalized.

What to Expect When Your Daughter Comes to Imperial
Within the first week, our clinical team completes a thorough assessment and builds an individualized treatment plan tailored to your daughter's specific needs. This isn't a one-size-fits-all program. Her plan is built around her history, her strengths, and the goals your family identifies together. The treatment plan evolves as she grows; we reassess and adjust regularly.
A Typical Week
Our Therapies for Individualized Care
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Helps your daughter manage intense emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviors, and build healthier ways to cope with distress. She'll learn skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Family Systems Therapy
Strengthens the relationships your daughter comes home to. Family Systems therapy looks at the patterns, roles, and communication habits inside your family and helps each person, parents included, build healthier ways to connect. Because lasting change rarely happens to one person alone.
Trauma-Focused Therapy
Helps your daughter work through painful or frightening experiences so the past stops shaping every day. She'll learn to understand what happened, quiet the body's stress response, and build a sense of safety she can carry forward, all at a pace that never pushes faster than she's ready for.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Helps your daughter see the link between her thoughts, feelings, and actions, and change the patterns that keep her stuck. She'll learn to catch unhelpful thinking, question it, and replace it with practical tools she can use long after she leaves us.
Experiential Therapy
Helps your daughter manage intense emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviors, and build healthier ways to cope with distress. She'll learn skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Expressive Arts Therapy
Not every feeling has words, especially at first. Through art, music, writing, and movement, your daughter can express what she's carrying and process it in a way that feels safe and natural. No talent required, just a willingness to try.
Your Family is Part of the Treatment Team
At Imperial, we don't just help your daughter — we support your entire family. Research consistently shows that adolescent treatment outcomes improve dramatically when families are actively involved. That's why family isn't an afterthought in our program. It's central to everything we do.
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.
Regular Communication from Imperial to Home
You won't be left in the dark. You'll receive regular updates from your daughter's treatment team, and as she progresses through the program, phone calls and visits increase. We want you connected — not cut off.
Parent Empowerment Classes
This is something most programs don't offer and we believe it makes all the difference.
Our parent classes equip you with real tools: communication strategies, boundary-setting skills, understanding your daughter's mental health, and building a home environment that supports her growth long after treatment ends.
Because when your daughter is ready to come home, the family she returns to matters as much as the work she did here.
Family Visits & In-Person Workshops
As your daughter progresses, there are opportunities for family visits and in-person therapeutic experiences. These aren't just "check-in" visits, they're structured therapeutic moments designed to practice new skills together in a supported environment.
Medical Care and Medication Management
Your daughter's physical health and medication needs are carefully managed throughout her stay.
Our program includes access to psychiatric care for ongoing medication evaluation and adjustment. Many girls arrive on medications that aren't working, or that need to be reconsidered in the context of a more stable therapeutic environment. Our team works closely with families and prescribers to ensure your daughter's medication plan supports her overall treatment goals.
How Your Daughter Grows Through the Program
Our program uses a phase system that gives your daughter clear milestones and increasing privileges as she demonstrates growth. It's designed to build internal motivation — not just compliance.
Each phase introduces new responsibilities, expanded freedoms, and deeper therapeutic work. As your daughter progresses, she earns:
- Increased phone calls and family contact
- More off-campus activities and outings
- Greater independence in daily decisions
- Leadership opportunities within the community
- Preparation for her transition home
We Specialize in a Wide Range of Complex and Unique Mental Health Conditions.
Every girl who comes to Imperial is unique, but many of the families we work with are navigating similar challenges. Our clinical team has deep experience helping adolescent girls who are struggling with:
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.
