About Lava Heights Academy

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.

We Will Help Every Step of the Way

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.

We strive for a multi-faceted, holistic, and integrated approach to treatment. One of our main goals is to help teens heal from past traumas, learn healthy coping skills, and build healthy relationships.

“Thank you so much for helping our daughter through your program. She was struggling so much in school with friends, bullies, and self image. Lava heights was so welcoming to her and she fit in quickly with new friends. What she has learned about herself has been priceless. Thank you so much for what you do for kids like ours.”
