Programs & Services
Growing up in our complex world can be overwhelming, and families may seek support to meet the needs of their children with developmental, psychological, behavioral, and emotional health needs.
With over a century of experience working with children and families, Intermountain provides services that help children, families, and young adults grow healthy and strong. Most insurance plans are accepted.
We provide mental health support through:
- School-Based Services
- Occupational and Speech Therapy
- Family & Community Services
- Therapeutic Day Treatment and Residential Care
School-Based Services
Intermountain meets kids and families where they are by partnering with local schools to offer a variety of school-based mental health services.
In School-Based Outpatient Therapy we provide a therapist on site, at school, so that a child can have easy access to support without having to leave the building.
Some kids can benefit from more intensive support at school. Through our Comprehensive School and Community Treatment (CSCT) program, we provide a dedicated mental health specialist and therapist at school, creating individualized treatment and support plans.
Sometimes families seek support not just for their child, but for everyone at home. The Family Empowerment Program offers exactly that-parenting classes, supportive groups, and child-focused mental health services that strengthen the entire family. Both parents and children can learn and practice new skills with support from mental health specialists and therapists.

Occupational and Speech Therapy
At Intermountain, we believe that occupational and speech therapy integrated in a behavioral health program supports kids and families holistically! Our therapists have extensive training in supporting the development of emotional regulation and social skills. We operate through movement and play to integrate the brain, body, and self for optimal performance and participation while meeting your child where they are.
Intermountain’s Occupational Therapy team works with youth to improve everyday functioning skills. Some of those skills can include fine motor (hand-eye coordination), ocular motor skills (eye movements), whole body movements, sensory processing, and daily activities (such as dressing or hygiene).
We strive to improve independence while educating children and their families working through difficult situations at home, school, and in the community.
Our Speech-Language Therapy team works with children to prevent, assess, diagnose, and treat speech, language, social, communication, cognitive, and swallowing disorders.
Our speech therapists can address issues such as a child’s understanding and processing of verbally presented information, like following directions or remembering details from a story.
Additionally, speech therapy can address a child’s ability to use language to communicate a variety of different functions (requesting, asking questions, answering questions, protesting, commenting/labeling).
Family & Community Services
Through Intermountain’s Mental Health Center, we provide family and community support through Case Management, Psychiatry, and Mental Health Therapy. Our work is rooted in a relational approach, working closely with clients on individualized goals that consider the needs of the child and the family.
Our team of compassionate professionals are clinically trained to treat a wide variety of needs and work collaboratively to provide the most comprehensive care. Our focus is your focus.

The Intermountain Psychiatry Clinic provides Psychiatric assessment and medication management for youth and adults. Providers are trained and equipped to serve a range of mental health diagnoses and needs, with an individualized approach for each client.
Intermountain’s Case Management team strives to empower each family to take the lead in managing and supporting their child’s mental health needs. Intermountain’s Youth Case Manager identifies and coordinates mental health and supportive services, supports the family in navigating the various services and application processes within the community, and advocates for the needs of the child and the family.
Therapeutic Residential and Day Treatment Care
Intermountain’s Residential Program supports youth ages 4-13 upon admission. It includes cozy cottages for up to eight children in a nurturing home-like environment that seamlessly integrates daily living, clinical therapies, and individualized academic services to create optimal healing.

Our approach to treatment is centered on our Developmental Relational Model. That means we use a developmental lens to view a child’s behavioral challenges and offer solutions that intentionally build connected relationships to help children and families heal. Treatment encompasses personalized clinical assessments, specially tailored treatment plans, individual, group, and family therapies, medication management, and an accredited on-campus school. We also offer a diverse range of outdoor and community activities to improve a child’s self-esteem and get them back on track to be successful at home and school.
Through our Day Treatment Program, Intermountain partners with nearby schools to offer therapeutic education for local kids in our private accredited school. Kids enrolled in the program benefit from our innovative treatment model in an academic setting with small classes and individualized attention, along with therapeutic support for the child and family. Because the Intermountain Day Treatment Program focuses on meeting emotional, physical, and academic needs holistically; we create pathways for success both in school and at home.
Stories of Hope and Healing
At 10 years old, Loreley felt disconnected from her community, struggled in forming relationships, and was challenged to perform well in school. Her 12-year-old brother Charlie faced difficulty too, unable to express his emotions in healthy ways. This took a toll on the entire family, and the simple joys of childhood felt distant dreams. When they found Intermountain, everything began to change.
Loreley and Charlie began understanding themselves and their family in new ways. Our campus became their safe place—a sanctuary where they learned to connect, relate to others, and rebuild family bonds strained by behavioral health needs. Today, Loreley and Charlie are eloquent young adults attending university with bright futures ahead.
When their mother talks about their life, that time, and how Intermountain changed them all, she states, “I’m so proud of my children.” They are such amazing lights, and they are going to do amazing things. That absolutely would not have been possible without every single person here at Intermountain.”
When Cody joined our Day Treatment summer program, he carried a visible emotional weight—head down, shuffling feet, and he struggled to stay awake during classes. Through our care and education, Cody is beginning to transform. Where there was withdrawal, we now see engagement; where exhaustion once prevailed, confidence has emerged. Most remarkably, Cody now is learning to read.
This breakthrough is more than academic progress; it displays his newfound ability to trust adults, engage with learning, and believe in his own potential.
When we met her, Shayla was a quiet, nearly nonverbal four-year-old shaped by early trauma. Meltdowns were frequent, play was solitary, and her mother felt alone. Then she came to Intermountain with trauma informed therapy and family support. Mom gained confidence. Shayla’s tantrums faded. Words appeared.
In just six months, she went from silent to expressive, isolated to connected. Shayla’s journey is just one example of the healing power of compassionate, family centered care.
