Lava Heights Academy provides a welcoming and affirming environment for young females (assigned at birth) ages 12-17 who are struggling with mental and behavioral issues, which may have made it difficult to remain at home, in school, or their community. We are a residential treatment center offering comprehensive and therapeutically informed art programs covering all four arts modalities - music, drama, art, and dance and movement.
Our arts professionals work with teens who have psychological, emotional, behavioral, social, and other developmental challenges - reaching them in ways traditional talk therapy cannot. Referrals can be initiated by parents, along with mental health professionals, including psychiatrists and education consultants.
