Mission Prep has expanded its residential mental health program for teen girls in Leesburg, Virginia, adding specialized treatment options within a family-centered, evidence-based care model.

San Juan Capistrano, United States, October 23, 2026 /PressCable/ -- Mission Prep has announced expanded services at its residential mental health facility in Leesburg, Virginia. The eight-bed home serves teen girls between the ages of 12 and 17 who are managing conditions including anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, and mood disorders, giving Northern Virginia families access to specialized adolescent care close to home.

The expansion comes as Virginia continues to face significant gaps in youth mental health care access. According to the Virginia Health Care Foundation, 93 of the state’s 133 localities were already federally designated as Mental Health Professional Shortage Areas, a figure that has since grown to include all 133 as of November 2023.

That local shortage reflects a broader global pattern. According to the World Health Organization, approximately one in seven adolescents aged 10 to 19 worldwide lives with a mental health condition, accounting for 15% of the disease burden in that age group. The WHO also identifies suicide as the third leading cause of death among those aged 15 to 29.

Against that backdrop, Mission Prep describes timely, specialized care as vital for teen girls and the families supporting them. At its Leesburg location, the weekly treatment structure includes two individual therapy sessions, two clinical mentorship sessions, and weekly family appointments, with additional psychiatric visits built into the schedule.

The center’s clinicians draw on a range of evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). These are complemented by mindfulness practice, art therapy, equine therapy, yoga, and experiential group activities designed specifically for teen girls.

Mission Prep’s broader treatment philosophy centers on the family system rather than the teen alone. The goal, the team said, is to build change that holds up once a young person returns home. Weekly family sessions are built into the program to keep parents engaged throughout treatment, rather than limiting their involvement to updates from the sidelines.

The Leesburg facility is part of Mission Prep’s broader network of residential programs for adolescents, with locations in California, Minnesota, and Virginia. Each site follows the same commitment to evidence-based therapy and family involvement.
