Newport Academy Fairfax

At Newport Academy Fairfax, young people between 12 and 18 who are facing depression, anxiety, or trouble with social situations can find care. Teens are the focus, and the whole family is supported too. Mothers and fathers are linked with resources and support groups close by, and family therapy happens on site. The approach draws on evidence-based methods and integrates them so teens can develop new skills.

Schoolwork support is part of the day, with tutoring available and a peer setting that invites teens to work together. Sessions after school at the Fairfax site can involve one-on-one, group, and family therapy, plus experiential options. Hands-on adventure and time outdoors belong to the program. Participants may head to Great Falls Park or other natural spots nearby for hiking, rock climbing, and kayaking, activities that can ease stress and grow confidence. The aim is to reinforce the support a teen already has while adding focused clinical care.

Programs for Newport Academy Fairfax

Newport Academy Fairfax offers outpatient care, so teens stay at home and come to the center for sessions. Programs usually run 90 days, though individual needs may differ. Cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, and trauma-specific therapy are among the therapies offered. Experiential options such as adventure therapy and art therapy are available too. If a teen needs a higher level of care, the center can help families locate appropriate resources.

Care here follows an evidence-based, integrated model, and families are central to it. Attachment-based family therapy can help mend relationships and give parents tools. Teens take part in mental health education, and parents pick up practical ways to back their child. Rooms are comfortable and private, with air conditioning, and yoga is one of the activities offered. Teens and families find privacy, respect, and support at the Fairfax location.

If Virginia Medicaid is on your mind, eligibility and benefits have to be confirmed with the center and the state Medicaid program. When you have private insurance, the center's intake staff can walk you through the verification process. Nobody can guarantee coverage ahead of time.
